I just replaced my header with the s&s system. All in all i am relatively
happly with it, however, the mechanic had a hell of a time installing the
system. In fact it cost me more to have it installed than the ceramic coated
pipes themselves. It has a very minimal improvment in power, and is a little
louder.
Prior to replacement, I had an axhaust place check out my leaking system and
was advided I had to replace all the pipes. Once they came off, there was only
1 pipe that required replacing. Could have saved a lot of money by replacing
the one failed pipe. Whatever... sure looks good under there now anyway.
