2.7L 4Cily DT Header Write up!

The only problem is I can't afford one dyno sessions, let alone many with each mod haha

 

well i do agree with you on the worth part, but i think you might hvae misunderstood what i ment haha i ment that it is worth your time to do the install your self instead of dropin another $200 of $300 buck for someone else to install. i have been wondering about my gains i mean i can feel it i think? or it just might be mental haha, when i got my muffler intalled the guy told me 15-25% of stock hp which to me seemed a little much do you guys agree? also i have been talkin to a guy i work with his good buddy works at a shop with a dyno and might be able to get me a good deal but well see what happens!

 

hey dgerm questiondid the write up help you out? or did you already know what to do?

 

Supposed to be 11hp, 12tq. Thats more than your gonna get from any other bolt on with these engines.

 

I actually didn't see this til after I finished. Funny thing was I was waiting for a write up for almost a year now. vtragweed said he would help me so I left that morning to meet up with him. I got home and heres the write up I waited for ever for haha

 

+rep for ya Taco505

Let me know how that dyno goes...

 

haha well i dont know if it will ever happen but i want it too, i told the guy i work with to talk to his buddy but i guess his buddy is outta town haha

 

Ok my honest assessment about these. After two days of driving with them I feel like I have noticed a slight loss in power on the very low end. However at about 1500-2000 rpms I feel a nice gain. Its my poor mans turbo lag

 

holy crap man same here i have just started to pay attention to it a little more, but i am still happy with them. I feel more power when im rolling up to a red light just before the stop and the light turns and i gun it i can really feel the pick up then. I took my first little day trip with my girlfriend from Albuquerque to Santa Fe about 50 or 60 miles with a few hill climbs and i enjoyed the fact that i was able to maintain a steady speed around 80mph or so!

 

nice makes a difference for sure in the sound...thanks for the write up...looking to put these on myself once i get the money haha

 

Why are you driving the truck below 1500 rpms anyways? Even without the headers, the 2.7 is gutless down there.

 

Still waiting for mine in the mail from DT and will be putting them on a REG. Cab 4x4 2.7L sound like good results thus far. Thanks for the info.

 

Yes sir I am VERY happy with them. Just letting people know what to expect!

Funny thing is, I shift at 2000 rpms normally, so I don't even get into the power unless I want to step on it.

 

wow. nice write up. this has just made me want headers even more now. haha

 

Are you running the factory exhaust, other than the headers?

 

Yup. Only other thing I have done is drop in filter

 

Good to know. I'm thinking about giving the DT headers a try. If I do go this route, I'm going to get a baseline on a roller dyno, then a few runs w/ the headers. Hopefully I can sum it all up with the URD S/C when they release it.

 

you guys aint had a check engine light come on yet have you?

 

Yes I wish I could have dynoed. I amn very eager to see the results of your test if you go that route

 

shit man if ypu can do a dyno That would be awesome i really wana get together with my friend and see what the intake header and exhaust have me running

But beastly taco my light has yet to come on and it better stay that way haha

I also have a question for you guys i have been thinkin about a catback what would you guys pair with the dt's and a magnaflow muffler? And would you replace the two or just the front or the back?

Sorry guys one more question do any of you know when the s/c is supposed to come out and any idea on the cost?
