Did not seem to be worth the bother.

If anything be wary of replacing the headers. Albeit not many folks have problems doing this you do tend to play Russian roulette when upgrading this part. I got a pair of stillen headers that were "defective" on the driver side where the steering shaft lies. I didn't know they were defective until the install because the steering shaft would bang into the header every time I made a right turn. Luckily stillen was kind enough to honor the warranty and they sent me a another pair. But the labor of installing the header twice was just not worth the minimal HP gain they gave me.

I guess it pays to play.

I considered headers, but the minimal gains and the amount of labor needed don't justify the cost. If I ever decided to do them, I would have them professionally installed.
