Never heard of power tech but it has the same qualities as a bunch of other manufactures tig welding, mandrel bent, 4-2-1 connection....just a brand x. should be ok and for 90 bucks WERD.

true, but damn thats ridiculous to charge 35 for shipping. thats definitely how they are making up for the inexpensive cost. probably a fair deal though in terms of the quality of the product. sometimes you get what you pay for.....

you know many aftermarket headers make less power than stock. DC is a great example - ha.

Just ask Oscar Jackson who said: "sometimes stock is best".


I'd be really wary of that seller too: He just registered with ebay as of oct-2003. But then again...he's got some good feedback.

I knew it was crap, but I thought it at least made a little bit of power.

The only time they make power is with a more upgraded system, with just I/H/E you normally lose hp but gain a little bit of torque, all in all I would spend the money on building the motor or investing in nawz, other than that its a finishing touch.
