Pros : Better acceleration, better sound, better looks

cons : lower ground clearance, more noise under the hood, lower gas mileage because of better acceleration

Yeah I forgot about that one. Once you get your headers, you'll have to fight the urge to gun it to 140 on lonely highways. Just make sure you watch out for the fuzz.

I put on a set of Bellingers (not sure of spelling) $1795.00 with $700.00 for install. Only gained 5 HP. Such a waste. I put them on in 1999 and that was about the only ones makeing headers for C5 at that time. I was told they were the best HA,HA. to much money for so litle horse power.
