Other (cheaper, easier to install) options would be Test Pipes or HFC's.

As said above ^^ a tune will be the best benefit to make the ECU work with the mods instead of against them.

Does the long header replace the test pipes?

That's nice, but personally it doesn't work for me considering using parts meant for another platform. Even if they are reverse engineerable. But that's not to say Z1 isn't an excellent parts/service shop. I'd go back for sure.

Just not the setup for me.

Yes, the LTH's will replace the OEM shorty header and the Stock Cats that test pipes would replace.

Considering it was that part + all the rest of his parts that netted his numbers, Not that part by itself, I think thats a little overzealous claim.

Well let's see, I think I would have noticed if it had been a thread "Only 1 mod and 342 rwhp, dyno proven!" Cause I would have it myself.

But he has an exhaust, intakes, the headers yes, and a (not your average) tune... aside from any other mods I may not know about. So it's not like he went stock on the dyno, then put the headers on and magically gained a metric fuck ton of WHP.

Just saying, if he and or others want them that's fine, but saying they're the single greatest mod you can buy is a bit presumptuous...
