The headers were a cheap generic brand, off ebay.
I figure there was no sence spending big dollars on headers which were going to be switched out as soon as the snail goes in anyhow.
Even considering that, yes the car sounds better. Much better. My daughter heard me drive up the street (hitting Vtec) and said to her brother,'what a cool sounding car!' she had to come out and see that it was me before she would believe her brother... LOL
there was also a marked increase in torque and top end power....
i only fitted them to improve the look of the engine bay untill I get the turbo fitted. (that heat sheild realy SUCKED)
