I would have to respond,.... it depends on what you want the headers for. I honestly wanted them because of the following two things: (1) inexpensive and(2) I wanted to know if I could install them myself. Now, if I end up feeling a slight difference in the ride (more power and a nice sound) without throwing any lights,.... well, I'll be happy.

If I remember correctly you should have gained about 15 lbs. of torque and 10 hp at the wheels according the Randall's dyno graphs he did to his car after the modification.

"Oh yeah, be sure to zip tie off the AC line on the driver's side to move it away from the new header, and then wrap it with high temp foil tape or exhaust wrap to keep it from melting."


My mistake I thought you were going to thermal wrap the headers,I didn't know you meant the AC lines.

In this case, I will try to post more stuff to hopefully help out...although, ...since your car is a more recent model, it may have wonderful little tidbits of its own... I think cats go with your headers, right?

Nope it's a 99' as well.
