sorry noob question about the ppe headers. Are there any long term or short term problems with installing the ppe headers. A buddy told me headers in general will decrease gas mileage, but are there any other long term effects like having to replace certain parts due to premature wear because of the headers.
thanks for the info guys.

I, however; have no experience with PPE systems so I can't comment on their system. But hopefully sometime soon I'll look into it. In the mean time you should not have any pre-mature wear on any parts except maybe the rubber gas pedal cover. Sometimes that wears down after excessive heavy stomping. Thats why you install the sport pedals! Sorry couldn't resist.

Here's a another (better) vid of the PPE headers + exhaust from PPE themselves -

You can hear how it sounds going WOT outside and inside.

In general headers will improve fuel economy based on exhaust scavanging; however, most of the time the lead foot associated with having the new headers will cause the economy to go down.....considerably..... until you start driving under normal conditions.

four months in, and I can say that I seem to be feeling more of a kick now. Maybe the seals have finally set or something? The sound has also dropped in volume. I used to kinda cringe a bit when I started it up in the morning and the engine needed some time to warm up, but its a LOT better now.
