There's definately a more noticible pull lower down if you're just driving around. I think Weapon*R is supposed to be dynoing them sometime this week. But for the most part based on feel the car is more responsive when cruising and there's a good power gain up top, feels more torquey.

 

Is the middle section stock? B-pipe and downpipe.... (cat)
So the only problem was the bracket? Im interested in the AFR's with this header.

 

Both the downpipe and b-pipe are all stock, I never saw it personally but my friend was down there and he said there was no way it was going to line up, and I trust his opinion since he knew more about taking and putting in the headers than I did and he installed a new turbo system in his GTI by himself. I may try and take a look down there myself again but even looking from the top it doesn't look all that close.

Also today I noticed that my tailpipes were more tucked in under the bumper, and I remember having to pull forward a bit on the downpipe to get the bolts in too so it might be shorter over all as well.

 

Or the header itself is too short.... Probably why the bracket didnt line up.

 

Ya that's what I was implying in the last sentence. The product itself looked good, the performance and sound is definately better but the fitment issues are a real negative.
