Truth.. if our stock headers would of made almost as much power as PPE/Sikky Headers than this would of been true with all other vehicles.. which isn't the case and has been tried and tested with the same results we see here.

all you have to do is see what the stock headers look like to know they are gonna flow like crap at high rpms. Hence the huge mid/high end gains when real headers are put on

I got my car back from PPE today. I am SO happy with the sound and feel of the car with the headers and Joe Z exhaust combo. The interior noise is honestly very tame when cruising, I didn't notice any drone at all cruising between 60-80 on the free way. When you go WOT, this thing screams! I love it, really happy with the whole install process. No CEL, no issues. PPE has top notch staff, Paul and Eric were awesome. The product they put out is top notch as well. I am very thankful for the PPE crew and the hard work they put into developing these headers for our cars. Huge improvement over stock and sounds amazing. Anyone on the fence about taking the plunge, DO IT. Definitely money well spent, this sounds as mean as it performs now

Right on Davis !!!!! Glad you are happy. I can only imagine what it sounds like. Honestly the Joe Z sounded bad *** by itself. Now it must sound like a monster.

Same here, and it depends on if your stock 02 sensors come out or if you need a new set, but install was very comparable to every other place I received a quote from. The good thing about PPE doing it, is if theres an issue with a 02 conditioner, wire extension, gaskets, bolts, or any other issue, they have stuff in stock to replace it with right on the spot, no delays.

Original post edited with new pics to show how to route wiring extensions away from the headers to avoid melted harnesses.
