For those w/headers

Is the increase in hp worth the price? Have you really been able to tell that much of a difference?

From 5K to 7K -- there is a nice improvement!

Well, I just installed them last night (that was alot of fun!), and from what little time I got to test them out, I'll agree with EricL and FDao.

Pulls damn hard from about 5500-7000

Under 5500, you really can't tell they're there. But, I knew this by looking at the dyno sheets.

Nice boost for $850 (gotta love gently used parts!)

I personally think it all depends on what kind of racing you like to do. Street racing..save your money. If you are to run in the 1/4..it might be worth it. On the highway..BIG DIFFERENCE. I raced AcuraCrazy on the highway, and thats when saw the big improvement. Although when we street race its really close. He actually beat me a couple of times. When we both went to the track, there was a big difference in times w/ the headers.

NOLACLS - I reused the gaskets between the primarys, and cylinder heads (manifold gaskets.) They only had 6400 miles on them...

I got 3 new crush doughnut gaskets from the dealer for the other areas (primary-->a-pipe, a-pipe-->converter.) Just to be on the safe side (ala cheap no leak insurance.)
