 I just got the headers in from China!  Yea I know, allot of you are saying "Why didn't you just go to Wal-Mart and buy 'em?".  The cost was $100 for the set (including gaskets) and $50 shipping.  Well the shipping took 3 days, from CHINA!!!  The quality is outstanding, 304 stainless steel, mandrel bends, a flange that I swear is half inch thick (no warping), two O2 bugs (per header) and chrome plated.  I figured the tubes would be thin but their thick also.  So thick I don't think there will be any weight savings even with the removal of the front set of cats.
 I'm not writing this as some sort of promo for this foreign company, I writing this as info only to a group of 986 enthusiasts.  The cost, quality, value and speed of delivery impressed me.  I can't see an American company selling this product for this price.  I'm going to try and find the time this weekend to install them.  It's a shame their under the car because they are gorgeous to look at, even my wife thought so 
after finding out I bought them without her knowledge 

.  I can't wait to fell the difference in the seat of my pants at the track!!
