The install took a few hours, but once it was on, the throttle response felt noticeably sharper in the mid-range. I can finally feel the engine pulling harder where it used to feel flat, and the note is deeper without being obnoxious.

The power gap I used to feel between 3k and 4.5k rpm is basically gone now, and the exhaust note has a deeper, more aggressive tone without being obnoxious. Took about two hours to swap in my garage, and the reduced restriction is immediately obvious in how freely the engine revs.

The low-end torque feels noticeably stronger since I installed this on my VB, and the engine just revs more freely without that choked feeling. Even the exhaust note sounds deeper and more aggressive at idle, which I wasn’t expecting from a header alone.
