I assume you are referring to the pypes? If so, I have their catted x. I don't believe they offer a boss side pipe h.

did they come out with a mid pipe that retains the side exhaust? If they did I'll jump on them

Yes more power than stock and less that x pipe. I love me side exhaust too much

nice thanks for the link I like the side by side exhaust sound clip. how much was the difference in power?
What mufflers you running on the car in that video?

ARH has an x pipe for their long tubes that retains the side exhaust. Leaning towards that set up as they are the only one I have found that does an x pipe with long tubes that retains the side exhaust.

The difference in power using the O/R h pipe w/ side exhaust is - 4-5 hp. This is from Mike at American Muscle - was on the phone with him for about 30 minutes chatting about this setup.

if anyones interested, a group buy is going on at corral.net for these headers. this group buy price is a lot lower than my cost! i would love to sell headers to you, but if theres a better deal than what i can do, i am ok bowing out. price is $559 shipped. they need 4 more to make the deal happen.

Make that 3 more....I'm in!

I emailed MMS from corral.net and the group buy is $573. Also found a group buy from a place in Jersey called JDM for $575. Where is the group buy for $559 or do you think they changed the price?

my bad. i assumed it was a flat rate to all. guess it was that price because of how close i am to them and the shipping was less? still better than my cost at $573!

Oh ok no problem. Just thought maybe I was going to the wrong place. Thanks for the heads up. These headers will be fine with the track key right?
 
Ok thanks. I'll have to put my order in so I can get a set. Think these will net a couple more horsepower on the Boss then a GT that these were dyno tested on?
 
Many say $575 is too much for a 10 HP gain, but how many people do you know that dropped 6 or $7K on a FI setup to get 100HP gain? Do the math and it isn't too bad. Just my 2 cents.

The "up to 14 HP" is with hi-flow cats. Here is LMR's statement....
" BBK has shown up to a 14 horsepower gain with these headers and a high flow catted mid-pipe alone!"
