Question regarding headers.

[Nutsid]

Is there any word on the headers that are already out now? I was debating on the turbo route as well, but I don't see it happening considering one turbo rotary should be sufficient enough. I just want a little extra oomph in my Rx8, specifically in the torque department. I've decided on replacing the cats with a straight pipe and getting a "cat-back" exhaust, but I was curious as to the gains of the headers as well.

And Fikren, have you noticed much difference with your cat back system?

other than, in my opinion, a better sound, the butt dyno says yes. It seems a little quicker on the response but I don't think there were any huge gains. Nothing has been dyno'd but if it were stock to catback I would not expect anymore than possibly a 2hp gain if that.
