kill me for asking,
but....
headers vs. dutra duals (performance only!)

hoping Doug will come after this one...


also, how do i get my hands on some dutras (how many limbs will i have to sell on the black market?, or just how much will it cost me?)
thanks

You could try to pm Doug...

As far as performance vs headers, I haven't used either one (yet - just got a set of dual Duals - thanks Doug!) but the duals will last longer than your car will - the tradeoff being a few pounds heavier compared to headers. Doug was running 12s on his car with Duals - that should be enough.

Get that Monkay! Get that nasty thing!!

D. Duals perform as good as the "shortee" headers available these days, except they fit the car much better. As for performance gains, you can get 5 to 8% with the D.Duals compaired to 10-12% with a good set of long tube headers.
