Loudness, honestly I have ran both back to back and really could not tell a difference, if so it was very minimal! Hope this helps!

Well I added these to my bolt-on 99 6 speed car. I previously ran the SSAC headers and dynoed 315rwhp and I can't remember the torque. I put these on, did no additional tuning, and dynoed 331/343. I went to the track and on drag radials and put out an 11.80@118mph on a 1.74 60'. I then proceeded to make three more runs in the 11's. One @ 11.89, 11.99, and 11.9x. This puts me at #7 on the bolt-on list, and I believe #3 for the 6 speeds. I believe there are only 4 or 5 bolt-on 6 speeds in the 11's. The cars previous best was 12.37@115 on a 1.85 60' on the old headers.
These were a PITA to install and the clamps were pretty cheap, but they do perform. Once they were in they fit well, nothing hangs low except the clamps. I would have gladly paid an additional $50 for better clamps and three wideband plugs. If you don't run rear 02's like I do, you will need two additional plugs. Overall I am very happy with this product.
At the dyno day when my car was on the lift, everyone was oohing and ahhing at how shiny my exhaust was. It was a little embarrassing that I had an old 02 sensor plugged into the wideband bung.

thanks! Curious where you struggled on the install? I've installed a bunch now and all have been very straight forward.
If you are not running your rear O2's, note when purchasing and we will toss in 2 extra plugs for you
Clamps are being addressed to a lap band style!
Great numbers and results, they speak really well especially coming for headers already! And they do certainly shine!

We didn't have the car on a lift, just jackstands. They were a PITA to get in from the bottom, possibly because the car wasn't high enough. The starter was a pain to remove/re-install again.

I'm interested in these headers but have a few questions....
#1-Are these made in the USA? I have seen some people say it is and it has an American flag on the header... or are these made overseas? Some other people have also said they are not made in the USA... which is the truth?
#2-Are gaskets & extensions included?
#3-What is the warranty on these items?

Question!
How do they look after being run? I've seen some nice looking headers turn to an eyesore after running. Should they be sent to be coated?
Anyone have pics?
Thanks!

Made in USA, been assured of this from day 1. Issue has been beaten to death
#2-Are gaskets & extensions included?
Gasket are, extensions are not needed
#3-What is the warranty on these items?
No questions asked if you has a problem during shipment or fitment during install.

Put me on the list or pm me a price I think I want the catted version just because of smell and add to more plugs please. rears o2's have been tuned out. . I have to ask is it worth the wait for the 1 7/8th vs these? I plan on supercharging next year
