Look in the L99 dyno sticky, page 5 post 101. That should answer your question.

I love my Kooks headers. Good sound, great power. Mine is a daily driver, so I spend most of my time at the lower RPM's and I can definitely say there is an increase in low-end power.

When it was married up with a CAI, ported VMAX throttle body, and a dyno-tune, I ended up with a very smooth power band where I am above 350ft-lbs of torque from 2500 RPM all the way up to 6000 RPM (maxes out at 419@4600rpm).

Yes, you might loose a little. Thats why cars with headers need a tune.

MarylandSpeed · 03-11-2014, 02:29 PM

No loss of power anywhere. One of the best bolt on's you can do actually. If you want the hook up, call us @ the number in the sig.

^^^ You don't have a sig.

Internet myths!

You won't even loose power with 2" headers either, nor will there be too little back pressure lol. Throw them biaches on and have fun modding.

I got tsp 2" headers and I noticed power increase from 0 to redline. I did not feel any powerloss any where in the rpm band its the best mod you can make for the money spent and get a kickass sound as a bonus Little nailed it
