Just FYI I had installed one of those cheap chinese headers yesterday (ones sold on ebay) that I picked up from 986speedster (thanks!). My shop didn't tighten the screws that cover the O2 sensors properly (my 97 doesn't need them) so they fell off after a few blocks of driving. My friend that was with me thought the rusty van beside me was trying to race me. I knew that it was the bolts that fell off which left two small holes in the headers. My car sounded worse than an old Corolla with a hole in its exhaust. It was so embarassing to drive a Porsche around that sounds worse than a horribly modified cheap asian rice rocket. I will gladly go back to my old integra with a straight pipe any day.

Oh and the cheap chinese headers (once installed properly) sound great. It comliements my Dansk exhaust and seems to have gotten rid of some of the resonance that I had in the lower RPMS. The quality of the stainless is very good quality. if you try hard enough you can even see them behind the rear wheels. I feel that I lost a bit of low end torque though.
