I'm SURE there is more of a performance gain than the MSDS headers. . .the only guy that I know that dynoed his car with SHM headers was at 190 WITH tuning.
If you are interested in doing the best you can with a mod, then the long pipes are worth the money.. If you just want to do something to your car, then get one of the less expensive sets.
Hmmmm. Sure. I should sell my $159, 15.5 lb wheels, then, and get some forged, 3-piece, custom built Fikses. Of course, I'll have to sell the car to be able to afford them, but what the hey. I want to do the best I can with every mod I do.
