Oh boy, that's nice! I'm saving up my money for those exact two things, it's probably going to be until next spring until I can get it all installed and tuned due to me being poor. How do you like the Texas Speed Headers, I'm going to go with the cats, but I might not if the feedback from the catless is good. Are they very loud? How is the quality?

Anyone want to jump in here and cry that they are cheap knock offs of a popular header or they are not hand crafted in the USA???? Didn't think so. The gains speak for themselves, and so does the price. Half of the name brands. Congrats OP, way to save that cash on the same metal as the others for double. I will have a set for my car too. Saving me enough to get a cam and supporting hardware and I will just have spent as much as the kooks or LGs or AR headers...

double HP gains 4 1/2 the money
They are pretty loud, but the car sounds like a beast now. I do not think they offer this setup with cats currently. I am very happy with my decision to go with these over the higher priced name brands.
Sound clip:
I fought with myself on going with these or the name brands, but I saved enough money on these to just about pay for my fast 102.

Might have lost a few HP, so not much if any. I was going to go catless with my setup regardless of what headers I went with. Texas Speed does not offer this setup with cats at this point. They may want to confirm that though.
Thanks. The video audio does not do it justice...thing sounds incredible when under throttle and a beast at WOT.
Thanks. I know there are people out there in the market for headers and are searching for dyno results for the non-big name brands with other basic bolt ons for comparison. Hopefully this thread will help them make their decisions a bit easier. My baseline before adding the headers and fast is the first graph I posted.
Appreciate it. When we first cranked it up after the headers install, I was blown away at the sound difference.
