Headers installed. Anyone else have this?
I had the Evosport headers, Denso Iridium IK16 plugs, and Magna Wires installed.
I think I expected a bigger result. Anyone else have the headers installed before ECU and Pullies? Do I need a tune after this change? Will the headers offer a bigger gain on a more modded car? Any insight? Maybe it's just me. I think I need a dyno.

you should of done the pullies and ecu first and the plugs and wires, then the headers...
the best bang for the buck is the pullies and ECU..
i say.. sell your headers and start with the pullies.. you will notice a big difference.

TopGun has the right idea, but the wrong execution. Keep the headers - you paid to have them put on. Just add the ODPS + ECU and SL55 splitter/green filters, and POOF! 425 horses
EDIT - by the way, if you want to sell the headers, I got dibs! I'll take them off your hands, no problem...

true... the ideal is to have all, but if money is an issue.. pulley should be first.
From what I remember from Vadim, the headers do make the 3.2L alot more torquey down low, where it really needs it.
