though Im not arguing with you, I consider this a discussion, a discussion where I am disadvantaged as I don't even have my car yet and I haven't crawled under one to examine the stock setup and placement. Nor have I held a 1200 dollar set of headers in my hands or even the cheapos, so I cant speak from experience there either.
I can say that the CC headers are 2.25 inch inlet and a 2 inches at the collector.
Im not sure if the greater efficiency of the 3 inch cat back is utilized when the header outlet or collector is 2 inches. Not sure if the 2.5L engine pushes that much exhaust in the first place. Heck I had 500hp Mustang with a 3 inch cat back and I know the 2.5 isn't pushing that kind of exhaust.
I don't know that's why Im asking. With all due respect, unless you know about fitment issues, or have knowledge of someone running the CC headers on the dyno I put forth that you really don't KNOW if they are crappy and dont make power. That's my point.
As far as the cats Im sure the placement will be abt the same as any of the other after market headers, as the CC headers were probably copied from one of the tuners like the cat back probably was.
Hey you might be 100% correct, but I still want to hear from folks who have actually installed them and judging from a few of the PMs Ive been sent I know who a couple are and I know theyre out there.
Look, if it can flow just a little better in the upper rev range Id be happy. If there are fitment issues I wouldn't be happy.
