If they are truly racing header, they are tuned to operate near redline therefore, not exactly ideal for street use.

So judging by the lack of responses (and the one response posted) these headers are probably not worth the time or money right?

Probably best to get a non-race spec'd set of headers from a reputable shop then.

If you want the sound, I'd go for sport cats & muffler mod or replacement with high flow units. Also the intake resonator delete, but you may already have that.

The diameters of the 3:1 tubes look off to me. Smaller on inner, larger on the outer.

For reference:

Left: Ebay | Right: Proper SS Header
