headers (yet again)

["Ryan Schuermann" <rts@phoenix.net>]

okok, i know a header on a 16v scirocco (or any for that matter) is
very prone to heating and cracking and loud. that aside techtonics 
downpipes claim a +15 hp increase over other types. I just got my new 
cat from tt installed and man, my car is quiet as a baby now and 
seems to pull even stronger. I am VERY tempted to get a set of 
schrick 268s and that header from tt, should be good for ~25+ hp eh? 
man that would put me at around 160hp at the crank, then the 50mm 
intake runners are good for around +8hp on the topend..I'm at 
conservatively 165hp! plus I can install everything but the cam..even 
saving money and going with the euro intake will still put me up 
around a stock G60...oh heh forgot to mention my NOS too..should be 
good for another +15 at least..hrm 180hp..saweeet!

pros..cons..how drunk am I really?
