When I set out to make headers, It all started with the C55. If I didn't start with the C55, I would not be making headers. Unfortunately I have no dyno's for my headers on a N/A C55. My C55 was supercharged at the time I made them. On every other 55 we have tested the gains are always in the 46-50whp area. I would suspect they would be a little less on a N/A C55. However i would say, they would most likely make more power than other options. It might be foolish of me to guess, but if I was tossing a number out there on a C55 N/A I would say about 30-40whp over stock.

thanks MBH for your quick reply , 30-40WHP is alot and brings in a wooooow factor for me personaly for an N/A car , i would think that these numbers would be with a cat/res delete for sure and also with a good chassis tune , in this case would you recomend some one for the tune or do u provide a tune your self if i do buy these headers from you , also if i install them with out a tune what would be the down side would i get a check engine light ?
thanks again for your great help

Mike,
30 to 40 HP (guesstimate) is a good number. As is said above is that with the cats gone etc...?
