Apex, wtf???? You obviously have no idea what the hell you are talking about and how much a test like this can benefit all members of this board and others who are thinking about making a purchase of an expensive/high performance header. This service that Mike is doing is for knowledge and information for those of us who actually care about making more power from a Honda the way God intended, all motor. I think the fact that Vteckidd and Mainstream Performance are willing to use their shop, their time, their dyno, and pay their tuner to do a test that we as Honda performance junkies can benefit from is awesome. I only wish that he had put a call out to a B16 to test this on and I would have made the 2 hour drive to his shop last night after I got off work at 7:00 PM to do it. We are going to be testing the K1 header on my b16 to see what it will do against the JDM DC header that I currently run. This is invaluable information to see a true unbiased test done by a neutral third party solely for the benefit of gaining knowledge and information. So much of what we see in magazines and from companies in their marketing is driven by money and what they can gain. Header tests in magazines are done as advertisements for the companies that pay big $$$ to advertise in those magazines. You actually think that they would say something negative about a paying advertiser? The last time I checked Mainstream Performance is not compensated by any company that they test a header from. A++++ to Mainstream and Vteckidd for not just perpetuating internet rumors and heresay and actually basing an opinion on facts and empirical evidence that can be proven on the dyno.
