I felt it forsure. I have no cats (off road mids) I think i spend 400-500 on everything. I order it from Texas Speed. And the car is not to loud still has stock mufflers but will be changing to spintech.

i got pacesetters on mine. you can tell an increase especially after you get it tuned. i also have off road mids. the headers were about mid 400 and the mids were an extra 119. i got everything off of maryland speed. also got spintech cat-back. very happy with the setup.

I went ahead and bought kooks headers. I liked the design and after i installed a set of pacesetters on a friend's gto i decided i'd rather go stainless.

Kooks and American Racing are among the top headers. Stainless Works, Dynatech and SLP are also nice.

I have had Kooks since early 2005 and they really woke up my Borla exhaust. Great headers.
