As for performance, I wouldn't expect much on an otherwise stock exhaust. And as for sound, I feel like it would sound kinda shi**y on a stock exhaust, but I wouldn't know.

No wannabe, I was referring to HFCs/test pipes

HR OEM headers


DE OEM exhaust manifolds
Has anyone gotten around to installing the OEM HR headers on a DE engine? I am very curious about installation difficulties and gains.

The Hr Y-pipe is deffintily worth it, ive got a AT and after i installed this, it didnt feel so bogged down between 2-4k rpms, felt like it just opened everything up.

Definitly worth the $60 and 1 hour drive there and back to get
