T.T.I's vs. ........you be the judge

The only problem I have with that article is the power level of the engine used for the test. At 300 HP, it is a docile street engine.
Though I'm not surprised the tti's made more power, being a stepped header with the small primary tubes up front at the same size as the cheaper street headers. (1-5/8) And then opening up. It's the use of the larger pipe headers that are really suited for a race engine. Or one serious street engine.

One would be lead to believe that the larger tube header is not a good one and worse than the tti. Headers are something that should be sized for the powerout put of the engine. Most people know this. Not everyone reading this may not know it.

Though it is better to error on the side of caution, the tti would fit the bill in 90% of the cases out there, the larger tube vs the tti in this case is a bad comparo on this power level. But should stop the over zelous from the mistake of bigger is better chain of thought.

Like Adam said, I'd like to see the test on a 400 HP engine as well as a 500 HP engine. How do the tti's stack up vs. the super comp headers?


Other questions can be brought up and comparos sought.
Where does the large tube header make more sense to use?
Will the next step up in the tti tube size make more sense to use and will it make more power than the single size super comp header?

In the above comparo, is the price of the tti worth the expense over the street header in terms of power? The single issue of ground clearance is a problem solved by the tti header. It is a shame the other companys have not made a header that clears like a tti does. But is it worth the expense?
I'll tell ya changing out the street header is a pain and makes anybody who has done it mad. Strike that. Madder than hell.

Things that make you go hummmmmmmmmmmmm.
