I got 2.5 inch piping now into a tenzo x spec titanium mufffler..

I used to have 2.25 inch pipe badly bent.. let me tell you.. I felt more of a gain then when I went from stock to 2.25.. and its so much smoother and deeper.. plus I did notice a performance difference and better gas mileage.. it pulls harder without a doubt

Well, I finally pulled my car out of the garage long enough to give it a quick run up and down the street.

The problem with my 'butt dyno' is three things. First, my car had been garaged for over a month. Second, I've been driving a 91 F-150 (you know there is a big difference between the two). And third, I installed both an upper mount and the 421 header from RK during the parked time so their were a couple of things added.

Well, needless to say the car moved like a dream. Even Paul was shocked at the scoot it had. Obviously, I have almost every tool I need in my garage, but I don't have a dyno, so no numbers here... sorry

El Guapo: The exhaust looks mint. Nice choice on it.

As far as what header to go with... I love the RK one I have and I know some people that could get you a good deal... (click the sig)...

I don't remember who posted it, but on JBO, someone said the the RK header dynoed with a LOSS of torque. Maybe it's better for high rev, I dunno.
Plus, nothing seems to fit correctly, and with the money you have to spend, that is weak.
I'm going to wait a while before I decide which one is best for me, the aftermarket will get better as time passes, I hope.

rk wont work on the 02 , cause they said GM changed the frame on the 02 they had

which is total BS

GM added a brace where the old 2.2 and 2200 ohv exhaust ran though , thats all GM changed

rk changed there header and wont admit they did , and they pic on their site is hte first design that will fit the 02 , the new design doesnt

Did you notice any loss of low end torque with the 2.5" pipe (or even the 2.25)... I'm thinking you must have but gained the mid-top end. <br>

i have ordered the weapon-r header. does it really need to be welded on or is that just a better way of installing it than with the studs
Re: Those w/ 421 header

I have an RKsport header and it sucks. I mean the power is great but it leaks at the Y pipe connection to the header itself, i have had to change the gasket at least 10 times in the past year. I would go with the the header that Bill's Isuzu Performance makes. The RKsport header does not fit very well at all for stares and the bolt holes for the Y pipe to header connection are all in a line parallel to the engine (which causes a major flex point), I even install stiff upper and lower motor mounts and this still did not fix the Y pipe problem. Good luck if you decide to buy one, my header has made me so mad that i have decided to go turbo so i can ditch the RKpoop header.
