Gibson states that their headers are direct-replacements for the stock manifolds - so they should meet the "no welding" requirement. I've read over and over the statement that "JBA+stock pipes+Gibson muffler" is "the best" - yet there I've found no dyno evidence to support this - it's pure speculation, or "seat-of-the-pants dyno", which is pretty much useless. Yet it's been repeated so many times that now people are just taking it as Gospel. If someone has posted a dyno chart of Gibson headers, please point me to it - I haven't been able to find it.
On a side note - there is so much useful and important information being shared in this forum - is there a way to gather the most important stuff in one place? With the info being spread all over and buried in many different threads, it's hard to find and potentially being lost. Dyno charts are probably the most valuable info - and not just the peak numbers (that's useless), but the graph of the whole curve.
