It is to me.
Made in the US, 321SS, and possibly improvements to the tune for plenum and TB to come.

Dundon race headers $3,750 and free shipping group buy, tune;
3600 RPM: +50 wtq +32whp
5000 RPM: +55 wtq, +52whp
5800 RPM: +24 wtq, +26whp
6500 RPM: +30 wtq, +36whp
7500 RPM: +30 wtq, +43whp

Cargraphic race headers $1,980 plus half off shipping ($50?) group buy, tune, filters, plenum, TB;
342 - 316 = 26whp @ 6500

It depends - put them back to back on same Dyno - only way to compare "apples to apples".

That's why I didn't compare calculated crank HP.
Comparing only the wheel HP increase for each practically eliminates dynamometer difference.

^I understand but I would still like to see them run back to back under same conditions on same dyno.

I am not disputing Dundon's work nor findings - they are impressive and worthy.

I would just love to see their catless headers ran w/o a tune and then Cargraphic ran w/o tune on same dyno and conditions.

I have no skin in the game.

All the NA cars have resonance tuning, the only difference is the emissions tuning on the GT4 makes it so peaky... Working on fixing this with tuning a bit, but need other maps from Cobb...

We're working with a GT4 CS customer on pre production prototypes that is running ours vs cargraphic. Should have that data soon...


If someone sends us a Cargraphic catless header we will run it on our dyno with no tune, Or once our parts are out feel free to pay another shop to dyno it back to back with a PIWIS in Rolling road mode...

Thought seriously about buying a set...

What is the hp difference between your headers/no cats and OEM headers/no cats?

Impossible to test that as the OEM cats are integrated with the headers. No way to separate the two...

There's way more at play in our race headers than copy the stock system and leave off the cat...

For those of you on the fence - one thing to consider is that a Cat'd header is going to fail quickly on the track, and is not warrantied if used on the track. So you options, as track rat, are stay OEM or go race headers, and these appear to be the best.

This is part of the reason why we use 321SS, will last longer than the car. Working on a bit of info to explain in more detail why 321 is a better material for exhaust manifolds than 304...

The stock pieces are 304 20Ga, like the old Ferrari manifolds and will likely crack and fail in not too many years...

I don't recall seeing what gage your headers are in any of your threads, what are they?

Do you also have the weight of the uninstalled headers?

Isn't this pretty thin, even for 321 stainless?

I'm used to seeing 16Ga as standard for street applications, and 18Ga is 20% thinner. How does durability of 321 stainless @ 18Ga compare to that of 308 stainless @ 16Ga? I note that you offer a lifetime structural warranty for the original purchaser, but the academic question remains.

Comparison of 308 vs 321 below.

Any issues with a car that is running 91 octane at altitude 5300ft+ (Denver)?

No issues what so ever, car uses a map sensor and will adapt. The relative gains in airflow will still be present.
