    Default Headers for my VN

    i dont know much about this area so im hoping you guys can help.

    would it be better to go to a set of pacemaker headers for my v6?

    what benefits do they have over factory ones?
    more power, fuel economy and better sound?

    heres a link to some for $600nzd

    Well, in terms of power - yeah. They flow more freely (less restriction), and boost your power curve toward higher RPM. It's also worth having a 2.5" cat-back exhaust if you're going to install extractors, otherwise your greatest restriction will then simply be further down the exhaust line

    Also consider different brands of header/extractor, like HM - which offer more power down low as opposed to high-end.
