I've had mine on for over a week now and WOW ! ! !

Starting at about 3400 rpm the car sounds like a Messershmidt in a full dive!

I figured if I'm going to pay $4 a gallon - I should enjoy each gallon to its fullest.

Thanks Kevin!

Melrose headers looks great, sounds great, and works great! Along with a honker, Corsa Pace and tune, I picked up 49 rwhp.

They are mild steel,bud.melrose opted for this,and going the jet hot approach to keep engine compartment heat down,and stainless is prone to cracking w/the constant expansion/shrinking w/hot/cold.
