Form or Function? Opinions!

Hey forum,
Just curious if anyone has any experience with ppe headers on an awd is250..

I DID search the rest of the forum before, but did not find accurate answers to what I'm curious about...

1. Are they worth it? Is the power gain even noticeable? [function]

2. whats the sound like on their own? [form]
(I ask because youtube videos featured all have other exhaust mods - not just the headers)

3. I hear labour costs are a big when it comes to headers... what should I be expecting? (Anyone who has gone thru with this)

Thanks!

1. This item gives about 10-20 HP give or take which is a big gain for our car since we are so limited in tuning options. Worth it or not, it is up to you.

2. I don't have it but from many youtube videos, i think it sounds awesome as hell. It is very loud, but good growl, not raspy loud.

3. You are right. It also takes a lot of work to switch back to stock. It is not a bolt on item.

I actually want to put this on but it is not legal in CA
