This also really depends on what other mods you have, if you plan to do a pulley drop with the switch, etc. You will have a low end torque drop with installation of any and all headers, doesn't matter what brand. There is just a larger drop between those and say S&S or SLP headers due to larger primaries. If you have the headers already I would say it isn't worth trying to find another set just get them on and make sure they seal properly Wanted to make sure to put that in bold because they have sealing issues, normally rectified by welding.

Edit for spelling

okay i see. but under full throttle its gonna help me out tho right?? i would think so. and yea i heard about there sealing problems, someone on here mentioned some clamps that work pretty well so im gonna check into that. all i have right now is an intake and a tune up, plugs and wires. i was wondering if it would do me more damage to put them on right now??
