Headers are fine... sound tiny like I said but add unmeasurable performance.
I don't think the sound would bother you really... in the same way that rattles and shit only bother me and no one else.

They're worthwhile; if I was to install them again stock, I'd do a few things different:

1. Get metal OEM header gaskets, cut them and install them as opposed to the shitty paper ones.
2. If you don't have the heads off or good access to the bottom bolts of the rear headers, jack the car up, get a million ft. of extensions and tighten them from down there.
3. Get a proper crossover-pipe gasket. Make sure the bloody thing is sealed or you will get nasty exhaust leaks (same goes for S&S headers).

Also, I find it fun being able to spin the tires twice in 1st gear now...
Down low and then again up high when she winds out... only if I'm on my thin snows and there's a bit of moisture do I get the up-top spinning again..

Count-down to a dead transmission from this?
