nice upper hp range from them, great sound.
they are not "easy" to install, at least for me, since my car is a 97 ad i had to drop the k member. the sub frame main bolts were rusted and one had to be cut off, i then replaced them with grade 8 bolts because the others were nasty. its an easier install if you have a lot of tools and a nice open garage and time... lots of time.

The net is normally 15-20rw but the combination of product cost and install cost is normally what makes people decide they're not worth it. I personally wouldn't do it unless the engine was coming out for another reason and then do it all at the same time. (But being like Mustangman281 where he's practically got it down to a science it not really a big deal. It took me 3 months just to pull my heads off, I'm a procrastinator) The gains are minimal but if you're doing it yourself and that's where your car is at in mod list then just do it. I was making 436rw through stock manifolds and I couldn't complain at all.
