I can take $1700 with stock SVT exhaust on a 3L and make 196 wHP, already did it....without headers. With headers it'll be well over 200.
And as I said, with proper fuel tuning (Which is fairly common on this board from all my reading) it does well north of 200 to the wheels. Since CP-e has yet to publish the dyno of their intake and headers combo, a little birdie that was present said something about 261. Though we know it did "dyno well better" than a 255 HP Altima, so at least in the 240s to 250s. That is also without SVT intake cams
Where did you get $1700 from? Even the price after the promo introduction pricing ends is not $1700. To top it off, the CP-e y-pipe would not even be useable on the Tour platform.
The full pipe setup and shipping and handling.
Whatever, the pipes are too damned expensive for what you get. You even said in your post that they fiddled with the A/F.
So then the headers may not really be gaining all that power. I'm willing to bet that proper tuning and light mods will get it into the 190s without the headers.
Oh, and an Altima dyno's less than you/they are indicating, at least stock. The ones I remember are between 200-210.
With a fine tuned 3L with VVT and headers, I'd expect it to get around that anyway.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure that they are full of it if they are claiming it will dyno 261HP. I'm guessing they are backcalculating the power to the crank since it dyno'd slightly better than an altima.
Okay, not trying to rain on your parade and these headers may be all that and more...but I just am going to remain skeptical and also flabbergasted at the price. The price is high only because they have no competition and demand is probably low right now. Just like SHM headers were in the early days of the SVT.
