Sounds great to me! My neighbor & i installed them in my driveway in about 6.5 hrs!
No fitment issues @ all! Fit like a glove!

I had always been told that you needed your car 2 feet off the ground but when I installed my headers, ORY and catback I only raised it 18 in and it was plenty.

I just put them on and fired them right up. For right now I have open headers so I can't drive the car, but it's friggin loud. I will post gains after I test it at the track this Saturday.

I bought mine from Chris @ Redline Perf. (Not a sponsor) but a great guy none the less.
bought mine coated with the ORY shipped to my door for $485.00.
I am a novice mechanic, however the install was very straight forward.
Drivers side i grinded down one part of the block (looks like a square from the mold/casting of the block) headers went right in.
Passenger side, removed the dip stick, that's it. Went right in.
My current set up is with the Borla. VERY RASPY (Truck Raspy) @ low rpm's 2000-2500.
@ idle, cruising,WOT. Sound is Awesome!!
I am very pleased with these headers, despite what others say! My car is lowered 1.5 in (LGM Hypercoils) & these headers/Ory tuck up nicely. PM me if you would like more info on where i got them & who to call. Oh yeah, i used all air/EGR stuff & no codes thus far. Changed plugs, Car idles nice & smooth. Think i will go to Lanes this week & get some "True Duals". Maybe that will eliminate the rasp. Hope this helps. Sorry so lengthy.

Texas Speed and Performance has them on a group purchase right now. They also installed them on a customer car and gained 22rhp.
