The HP loss or gain on these headers is probably less than the difference between the loss and gain you would have on a hot vs a cold day (which indeed is noticeable on the track). My point in starting this tread, was to make people out there aware of really cheap stuff on e-Bay, that is worth buying. For $22.30 I got a pair of nicely done headers with gaskets, nuts and bolts (I re-used the original ones) and a perfect fit. The shape of the pipes and the merge collector is not very different from other headers like Fabspeed. The FVD headers the piping is bent slightly different. But these cost around 70 times more! Even with zero HP gain, I got a damn good sounding car for virtually free!
