I can't wait to have a set... the way a true equal length header setup sounds

Not to mention best customer service in the league. You email PPE and the owner emails you back

As long as they aren't $13,000 like another company someone mentioned the other day.....was shocked that one of the members here actually paid $13,000 for a set of headers/exhaust.

$13000 that buys a brand new Jetta lol must be a novel full exhaust/header combo at that price.

Yes ppe has great customer service and quality product, every time I emailed them with question would get my answers usually same day.

I'd be thrilled to find out this wouldn't void the warranty on powertrain-related items. What is the difference expected in torque and hp along the rev range from equal-length headers on a car like this?

This is what i'd like to know. The RCF Headers look just look like there's so many twists, turns & bent angles that i don't see how they could add that much more HP to the equation. Man, i remember the OLD Hooker Headers back in the day (sooooo long ago, lol). but they didn't have ALL these twists, turns & curves. They just seemed like it was so much more EBB & FLOW? these just look sooooo Congested

That's what they have to do to get equal length in the small engine bays. The equal length will sound great.

Fair, but sound is one thing and power + torque at low rpm would be something I'd pay for?

They will, however the kit will also include an O2 conditioner which tricks the ECU into believing that nothing has changed thereby removing the CEL.

Same deal with the ISF, or gutting your cats.
