I've had mine since December and I haven't had any problems. I have Spiro-pro plug wires and they look fine. I haven't had any banging problems either, but I have to be careful turing in some parking lots so the y-pipe doesn't drag. I have heard of people having to pry the pipe to reach the oil filter. I use the K&N 1007 filter because it's really easy to change having these headers.

I haven't experienced any problems with the wires or floor banging. (Had FLP's almost a year).

I did have to shorten my oil drain plug because there was not enough room to get it out.
