FINALLY, i get to the the header. it looks nice! but would this void a warranty? i dont kno these things.. and im not sure, but i might of already asked this... dont think i did though

Installation should be a strait forward bolt-on, although you would probably want a lift, since many of the bolts would be easier to reach from below.
Rock, do you include torque specs and a torque sequence? I don't want to risk warping the head.

he thinks if he asks the question in different ways..he will get a reply faster.. lol this is like any bolt on..if they find that it caused the problem.yes it will void the warranty.. if your worried about engine warranty.. dont even bother putting this on or the pully lol
in theory if a header doesnt interfere or interdepend on emissions control equipment then no, it shouldnt void your warranty. Sensors is what dictates when an engine is operating out of spec. If you do not interfere with the sensors or the direct mechanical operation of the engine and related components then you are fine. A pulley techinically would be more voidable then a header in the situtation i explained above.
Now we need to Jetcoat/wrap that bad boy header there.

What are we looking at as far as numbers?? I know tone will change with the header.... and airflw will improve so roughly another 5whp? and a pound or two of tq??

Numbers are BS. The car will go faster. That is all that matters.
(PS - not trying to be a dick. I'm just getting REALLY tired of watching people bicker about dyno results.)

no offense Black, but numbers are very important! Your car may seem faster but its not. If you continually go to the same dyno and dyno each mod you will noe for sure your mod is improving your hp or tq. If your not improving any of those or at least your power curve how the hell do you noe if your car is faster. Without numbers most products aren't worth nothing to me. I got piggy, pully and intake for Fuel economy. so i could care less anyways. our cars are slow period. in my opinion its F/I or nothing.

Numbers are overrated. When I had my 2002 Lancer, I was WAAAAY happier before I dynoed it. When I found out that all my mods only made 5 whp (93 mighty whp!), I was less than pleased...

It sounded more like you were reacting to the "numbers" of dollars you spent for 5 whp

It's not so much a reaction. It's an evolution. Over the 5 years I've been playing with imports, I've learned a lot. After putting in my time on EvoM, I've seen lots of dyno sheets. And my opinion of dyno results has changed from my early ricer days.
None of this is on-topic. If you want to continue the conversation, PM me.

I think i will chime in on this one, "Dynos for 500"
Dyno use is more about tuning not just trying to pull a max HP or TQ out of a hat. Understanding the compounding tuning changes and upgrade hardware causes shifts in these curves.
That would be the true purpose of a dyno.
The other is just hype about max figures
