what do the UMW experts think? worth it? i'd been holding off since all the other ones are expensive as hell. $399 ain't too bad. i already have a berk test pipe that i haven't put on yet.

 

It seems like a good deal to me. I'm on the group buy allready for the Megan header and exhaust, otherwise I would have got on this one.

 

Thats a bargain for a s2k header. If i didn't already have the Mugen I'd go for it.

 

so supposedly the header adds a few hp...how about sound? will it change at all? i wouldn't want it to be really loud and/or sound like crap. how are the headers you guys run now?

 

Looks good. If I bought one I would go with the HPC HiPercoat ceramic coated for better underhood temperature control.

 

would it really make a difference if you weren't tracking or auto-x'ing (much) the car?

 

no in your case the $399 one is just fine

 

okay, thanks.

also, i did a little searching about the aftermarker header's effect towards sound. there were quite a few complaints about tinny sound, sand-in-the-header sound, and other kinds of annoying/disliked noises as a result of changing the header. any comment?

 

i'll be placing my order today...

i got the test pipe and it thought it was a very nice piece... My car is intensely loud and obnoxious, i love every second of it!!!

 

Just placed my order for the Ceramic header.
