I would definately recommend these headers. For one the price compared to name brand headers is so much better. Truthfully once they are installed it would be really hard to tell the difference in these headers compared to the more expensive ones. Once I put a few thousand miles on them Im sure though Ill be able to get a better idea of how they hold out. Very good buy though

I'm really interested to see how they're faring after 3000 or more miles. I've been wanting to do headers on my car for a long time now but cant justify the $300-500 cost for hardly any performance increase. If I could get a set of headers that would give me the same sound and performance for $115 then i'd jump on it right away.

I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for so i'm curious to see how they hold up.

The one thing I did notice that Im not sure is good or bad is that these headers were a lot less lighter then the stock ones. I dont think they are as think either. Either way though I let you guys know how they turn out after awhile.

I think your car will make a good guinea pig for testing these headers. The fact that you're supercharged suggests that the headers may be put through a bit more stress than in a N/A situation, which will lay a good foundation for what us N/A folks should expect.

I know that i've got your forum ID written down and will hit you up in a month or two to see how things are going with them. Like I said, if I can get SS headers for $115 then I can justify the minimal performance gains.

Well as for a boost its hard to tell since my car is already supercharged. They definately gave it a more throaty sound, more like a v8. Im sure it would be easier to tell with a stock v6 mustang then mine to see if there is any potential "boost" from these headers.
