well, they give the car some much needed torque and hp, as for the tranny, they are going with or without headers, so why not. all you have to lose is a few hundred bucks.

I'm quite pleased with mine. Of course, mine were the 2nd prototype, which saw an improvement over the first. However, I didn't have nearly the difficulty that some of these cats are having.

If you want headers now for cheap, get the obx, stone's are having some fitment issues, if you can wait then get the stone's when everything is resolved. Here is the breakdown. Comptehcs are too expensive, Stones are having fitment issues, and obx's resontae a lil( mine dont)

Reading the installation instructions first is highly recommended espacially If the guy does not know how to figure out which header is for the front and which is for the back.

Otherwise, you will see 2"-3" gap because the headers are swapped.

Vibrations from the headers turned out to be from lose O2 sensor...

Installation problems are not all the time the fault of the headers.
