It seems to me that until there is a head to head comparison on the same dynamometer of the Belanger headers with these headers using the same car, the data on the other thread is insufficient to make an informed decision about which header is better and for what purpose. Keep in mind that the ACRX is an offroad car with no cats, forged pistons and an offroad controller. One other thing. If I remember correctly, the Belanger headers have now been running on Gen IVs for more than a year. There have been no posts that I am aware of indicating any problems for those running the Belanger headers with the Mopar controller and only an occasional engine warning light issue reported for those who are running the stock controller. Other than a few isolated dyno tests and on track experiences with the ACRX, what other data is available for the new headers?

Disclaimer. I do not know Mr. Belanger and I do not have after market headers on any of my vehicles. I make this post because I see people running down the road waiving their money above their head and the data seems pretty preliminary to me.

Apples and apples for sure. I was going to pass on the Belangers solely based on how loud they are. If these are just as loud then I'll just do the Corsa/Random Tech/Mopar Controller on my 09 Coupe as planned. I'll leave the 30 or so RWHP on the table and actually be able to hear myself think. Rear exit (vs side) is a whole different ballgame. I ran this combo on my GTS and it was loud but not outrageously loud. Just my 2 cents.

Headers are just part of the exhaust equation. Noise and performance will be effected by cats, mufflers, cones, diameters etc.

Speak with your installer to let him know where your priorities are.

Worse than loud is drone.
