no headers are easy to install. and they are cheap cause shorties dont really do a whole lot. youre better off spending that money on something else (such as long tubes) or other mods that will provide usefull.

gears
TB+Plenum
Suspension (Lower CA's, subframe connectors etc.)
handheld tuner (mostly for future mods such as bigger tires, gears etc.)

Waste of money. They add hardly any power and they move the power band further up so it feels like you have 26 lb.-ft. of torque.

looks like you have a stock midpipe. headers are not really good for sound, but for power, which is minimal with shorties. if you are looking for sound go with a new midpipe.

after i installed my shorty headers, every time i push on the gas i hear some noise from the engine and if i remove my feet it disappear, is that leaking from the headers?
