So we are paying for something we don't even feel? That's crazy. I was expecting some power gain to be honest.

It might be in your head

Your butt dyno might be more sensitive than mine. I'm sure you gained HP but I don't know what you can "feel." Headers aren't going to make you have Z06 power. They make the car sound better with little gains.

Its like adding a CAI. I couldn't feel the power there either.

I understand I won't have Z06 after headers. Sound didn't changed, will change mufflers later and will do tune.
