Wondering if anyone has tried the
RPW headers and a highflow converter on a non
turbo and noticed a decent high end gain (and no loss of
low end torque due to loss of backpressure). Specifically,
I'm looking at a Catco converter and the race series
RPW header at Vision Imports. Any Dyno results or
noticeable improvement?

-already have intake an Magnaflow exhaust...

Backpressure doesn't increase torque....
Increasing the primary tube diameter, thus decreasing exhaust gas velocity is why you 'lose' torque.

If you have questions about the 2g Eclipse Spyder...esspecially performance mods, heasd over and check out www.thegalantcenter.com go to the Forums, register then check out the 7g performance forum. As you probably know the 2g Eclipse Spyder shares the same 4g64 as the 94-98 Galant! A few guys over there have the RPW headers! Hope that helps!

Did you notice anything with the Magnaflow?

yea, I'm diggin the Magaflow street series muffler. I do notice gains. It has a very low rumbling sound that makes it sound like
a V8. I may add the RPM headers someday too...

Cool, I'm in the process of deciding what I want and I'm probably going to get something within a week or 2

I recommend a stock GS-T exhaust for the price.
