PM Nashua_Night_Hawk over at a-cl.com. I believe he will be able to answer all of your questions. Happy modding!

Mr. , did it improve the power at all? By how much? How about the sound, did it get louder?

I bought one of the first sets of Stone headers too, except mine didn't fit. Cost me $200 to install them, and then another $200 to have them removed because the fitment was wrong. Nashua was kind enough to quickly mail me out another downpipe (the piece that was messed up), but at $400 for the headers, $400 + tax for the install, and another $200 to try installing it again, I'm almost up to how much Comptech headers would cost and they're a guarenteed fit! I think the quality is improving on the second batch of Stone headers, but just know that like OBX headers, you get what you pay for ... Comptech quality is still a lot better, even though it costs you more than double what Stone and OBX are charging.

With the headers and intake a saw a huge improvement... I had the headers on first and then the intake. I saw a little improvement but once I put on the intake forget about it. It was like night and day. There is no resonance like the OBX and it sounds a little deeper when your outside but cant hear much inside...

Did you replace your B pipe? If so, any difference, and if not do you regret not doing it? It just seems hard to justify the extra$600 for a B pipe from comptech. Does Stone make B pipes?

Why don't they sell these headers in any stores.

If I'm not mistakened...the first batch/earlier releasements of the Stones should've required some modification to the headers...

And they don't sell in stores is because Nashua_Night_Hawk is the one that's producing them.

Nashua doesn't make them. He is just the middle man. The place is in NC and Nashua is in NH... The only problem I had was that they sent me 2 rear heads. They overnighted it the next day.

I do believe that the headers were made in England, which was why there was a long delay in getting the first batch of headers due to shipping and clearing customs. I think you got your 2 rear heads fixed quickly was because Nashua had spares left over which he could send to you.
