I felt a difference when I installed them, but I already had a tune. After the tune was adjusted for the headers, it felt even better

Too really take advantage of the better 'breathing' you'll want to tune.

I noticed a little difference with just int and header, no cat, 2.5-3. The magnaflow gave my bottom end back and it felt even better. put em on and never look back

thanks in advance

IMO yes it can hold I saw a magnacharged sierra run 10psi on shift kit and servo not to mention intake and headers


Installed a PI 3600 stall with alto red eagle ,Shift kit hd-2 and a vette servo Havent tuned it yet for those things but without tunning I noticed that the shift kit and servo made the shifting fast

I'm installing a cam next week too

take your time with the install too... lol. I bent one of my collectors out of frustration on my install. ory pipe wouldn not fit on after that. then my ring clamps came loose and accidentally drove over branch during ice storm knocked the pipe loose... so maybe some band clamps or minor welding would be a great idea after fitted.
