Explorer V8 headers!

[rjc757]

Hi, this is my first post to this forum. Has anyone here checkout this sites claim about their new headers for 5.0L Explorers. http://www.torquemonsterheaders.com/

Yes. I am wearing them right now.

They're very high quality, fit well, and I have dyno numbers that say these make more power and torque than the FMS headers (that are no longer available).

Am i just still too hung over to understand the torquemonsterheaders website. It says they make 1996-2001 V8 5.0 headers. But their mpg ratings and also hp/torque are for a V6 engine, I don't understand that if their product is for a V8!? How can they be bragging about their product increasing hp, etc if they aren't even using the engine that their product is made for! Let me know if I am wrong and it's too early for me to be thinking...ha.

thoes are numbers at the rear wheels and not at the flywheel so its going to be less than what you arte used to seeing.

dman is a genius! Even with all my mods, I only dynoed at 206HP to the wheels while the Explorer is rated at 215HP (to the crank though). You lose about 20% of power through the drivetrain.
