Agreed with edc - nothing but positive gains. Notably better 'revability' in the lower gears. My Circuit Works mid pipes did require a bit of a hammer dent on one side's tube for rear axle suspension clearance, but they fit fine on the other side. Which plays back to some of my earlier comments about aftermarket exhaust pipework fitment being a hit or miss deal. But once the offending tube was massaged a bit, all ended well, and I'd never consider going back to the OEM setup.
For the very cheap purchase cost of a set of used USA-spec early non-cat manifolds like mine, I'd urge you to just try them and see how you like them.
