:D Lemme hear it
Hopefully we can keep this thread in order for awhile... Anyways i have a 2002 GLE 5.5 (obviously by sig and yes auto) and its been around the forums for a long time about headers with no equal length Y-pipe... I just got my 3.0 OBX headers, im not sure what is my current WHP as an auto but i guess my 1/4 ET should give a ball park figure of what power my car currently has... i hope to be installing these very soon as u guys are probebly familiar with the previous problem of my car misfiring and ruining my stock headers... i wish i could dyno the car today but i cant for 2 reasons (1. no money lol 2, my numbers wouldnt be correct because of my clogged stock headers and i dont want the gains seem to be too much than what they are)... i know im not the first to own a set of 3.0 headers on a 5.5 but i guess ill be the one to dyno it and see what this thing also does, and of coarse not only will i dyno but ill be swinging by the local track to run these, wish me luck i guess (and yes i know u all love ur cattmans so you can keep the comment to urself, i like them too)

well thats one of the reasons i wanted it, to prove this non equal Y-pipe thing that floats around on the forum, plus i got it for $250... have u ever dynoed headers on a 5.5 with non equal y??? i kinda think that is BS, i owned headers before... i'll be like my buddy datdude20, ill be the ginuea pig

I have the 5.5 headers on my DE-K.
Hopefully your $250 doesn't go to waste, unequal length downpipes have been known to have leave a raspy tone in your exhaust note but I'm not sure if anyone proved the power gains to be any different.
Are you getting a wideband?

3.0 and 3.5 headers are the same as far as anything that matters goes (dimensions, design assuming the same brand, etc)

Good luck, I'm still waiting to jump on this wagon. I was about to pull the plug on some 3.0 but figuring an extra $25.00 gets me 3.5's with a Buy it now... I might hold off until I see dyno numbers. However If there is a difference I doubt it's gonna be more than 1-2hp difference.. Anyone have the non header auto dyno? So we can have a ball park estimate of hp gained?

when i dynoed my auto 02.. it was 187.. yes really low numbers because my spark plugs haven't been changed.. i had around 105k when i dynoed i think.. and i hadn't relocated my knock sensor.. after that, 3rd gear pulls a lot harder.. i think if i had new plugs and relocated the sensor before, i would be around 200.. mods at the time were hks exhaust, fc intake, and block off plate

You have no money, your car is running like crap, and you're buying headers? lol, wow
Seriously though, I dont see the point of continuing to bump this thread if you're not going to be able to compare dyno #'s both before and after install.

i dont mind dynoing before and after, just send me $50 to dyno my car now and ill pay to dyno it after (dnvr12@yahoo.com)
Makes sense.
You dont even have a basis for your so-called "analysis", much less the money to throwing away for a project like this.
Smart.

It was too easy.
However, I feel your frustrations. My stock Ram Jet has been overloading the Heisenberg Compensators... I can't get any lift.

You can start by getting a better job, if you even have one....lol
So your headers were on the way before the misfiring, and yet you were spending money that you didnt have on something you didnt even know you needed (at the time), even though your car wasnt operating correctly?
Makes sense.
I did read it, and I understand your manifolds might be clogged, but again, whats the point of continuing to bring this thread up if you're not even dynoing before and after?

Injen intake was the problem. And now I have a set of D2 coilovers, just as you did. Its helps to make comparison that are actually valid and coincide with each other.

Hustle makes it all too easy sometimes, but I agree, it is all in good fun..
Good luck with your build man, hope it works out for you.

Cause he already bought the headers before he knew he had a problem with the stock manifolds, and now he has no money.

You realize that it's all fun, don't you? Or maybe you don't... you seem kind of impulsive, which makes it hard for you to appreciate the nuance when being teased. And man, you've been getting ranked on a lot lately!

i do agree that there are somethings that are better than some but that is most often over used by ppl that really dont know too much and just feel to have some kind of input, but all in all, i didnt want to pay twice for installation, and to smoking talking about a job, its way easier to say "get a better job" i get paid enough to take care of my bills and to keep a shelter over my head, srry i cant spend freely as most ppl, i have never had to use a credit card on my car, i can put a little to the side for my car, so yes in times like this ur gonna always here me say im broke, i just budget good enough to take care of important stuff and keep my car looking good and performing as well also... i am glad that u guys keep my thread going though, i really do appreciate it
at least u didnt call me hustler
