Exhaust is on! I got my exhaust system on the other day. I put on the ebay Stainless steel headers and the magnaflow magnapack exhaust.
The header install was horrible. I had to beat the crap out of the drivers side header for it to clear the bell housing. No one else that I read about had this problem, but my set was bad. Also, the driver's side O2 sensor had to be relocated. And then I relocated a little too far, so I had to "modify" the O2 sensor. Also, the reducer thing that comes with these headers is a joke, not to mention a POS. I guess all these problems are what you get with a $300 set of headers.
Anyways, I got everything on. I currently have the cats clamped to the catback, and its leaking, so I'm going to go back in and weld the cats to the catback.
The exhaust set up is freaking loud. My wife wasn't too pleased with it, but she'll get over it. Here's a short video of it.

Dang, she didn't even want to say hi! lol. I read that another guy had to lift his motor about an inch to get the headers to clear, and had to move that same o2 location.
I'm curious to see the horsepower gains on these vs. name brands. Atleast you didn't spend to much money on them, they look good, and they're better than stock.
