Default Ford Racing headers for cheap.

A local cat is selling a set of these for $125. I don't know if their ceramic or just stainless, but they seem like a steal regardless. My question: will I notice a difference in sound or performance just replacing my stock headers with these? Also, will I notice a loss of torque after installing these? My H is stock, and I have a custom flowmaster catback. Thanks, homies.

Good. Then I'll spend the money on something else...like new tint. Thanks, Adder.

Good point. Although a lot of folks I know around here have been pulling it off for years...including my wife who blacked her windows out completely to keep the sun off our son. This was over three years ago. Luck of the draw, I guess.

That's a decent price on the FRPP headers, but you'll notice more gains w/ a better mid-pipe as well. I ran FRPP shorties w/ my stock H (1st set of cats gutted) w/ Flow's and could tell a difference, but the difference is much more noticeable w/ the Prochamber. You should invest in a better midpipe, anyway, so I'd get them.....
