They are a great bolt-on mod and will make a seat of the pants difference. They will also come in handy when bigger engine mods follow ie: heads/cam, forced induction, ect.

They are deff. nice to have. I gained about the same few mph few tenths. I should be in the same neighborhood ( 13.5-13.8) if I could ever hook up.

Big investment though, alot of time and punishment with these cars.

Well worth it the first time you crank it up. Drive it the first time and you'll never regret it.
<---how I look every time I drive mine now.

There a good mod, pain of an install if you never done a set before. You can buy some regular Taylor plug wires and route them not exactly stock but kinda same fashion. Thats what I ended up doing.

3-4mph and 3 tenths? Is that going from bone stock exhaust to full aftermarket exhaust? Or from Catback to full?

the install is the funnnnnest part. maybe if my car didnt have 150k and didnt have to bust off most of the bolts it may have been better.
