? about headers with tune on C55

I put in my order for Eurocharged ECU and TCU tune yesterday. Philip was supper helpful and the Black Friday package deal saved me some real money. My question is has anyone paired the tune with the shorty headers? The price he quoted was tempting so I want to hear about owners experience with these headers.

Has anyone Dynoed them?
Real gains?
Hiw did it affect the sound?
Does it drone? Ect...

Those shorty headers at $550 is a downright steal.

Seems like they gain about 10 to 15rwhp, change the sound of the exhaust but don't affect the volume. Drone would depend on if you keep your resonator or not.

Keep us posted on the tunes, I'm curious how the TCU tune performs.

Stock it's a log manifold, Eurocharged sells equal length header, the sound changes because the length of piping changes for cylinders 2 through 4 and 6 through 9.
