Andrew,
I really don't think headers add much to the performance as the stock
headers were pretty good. However headers weigh a lot less and the rest you
said is true also.

BTW, have them Jet Hotted. I just got mine back a few weeks ago and they
look awesome. I had them Jet Hotted about 8 years ago and they have a
lifetime guarantee which they honor. They look like chrome!!!!!
