    Down low shouldn't be affetced, but mid/high you will feel it.

    If you want to maintain down low torque then I won’t get extractors, to be honest. Also valve for money I would also save them till one of the very last mods if you’re planning on buying new. Cat back exhaust on the other hand definitely works well.

    Nice Is it running the VS or VN computer

    If you want more bottom end torque then I would highly recommend going with a manifold insulator first. More mid to top end I would go a set of rockers.

    If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

    "So stay with stock headers and run a cat back system and rrockers and later on get spacers and extractors?"
    If you want more bottom end torque now then go for the spacer. Otherwise go for the rockers. I would only consider the extractor as one of the very last mods.

    "If i get rockers from you do i get a mace stickr lol"
    Yes

    If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

    To be honest we don't have the 1.9's in stock, we should get these sometime next week.

    Worse case you should see these sometime after the 31st of Jan

    They're normally sent of via express. We have the 1.98's in stock and at the moment can do a better price on them if you're interested.

    The difference between the two is that the 1.98's open the valves more compared to the 1.9's therefore making more power. You have a PM

    To be honest I'm not sure. It would depend on how the tune was done. Best people to talk to would be chiptorque themselves.

    Hope this helps,
