I like it!

I just wish someone made a set of headers for the 2.5L V6. I still wonder if the C32/C240 set would work. They sure look like they would. I, however, am not willing to take the gamble to find out.

Probably sounds better in person, but doesn't sound that much different than before. Your car already sounded like a beast anyway. I'm sure you'll feel more once the headers have settled in.

Sounds waaay better in person. Deep and powerful, yet refined and sophisticated…not too loud. Definitely not farty.

From the passenger seat, it’s evident (to the ear and in the tail) that the mechanicals are working just fine. It pulls strong! Excellent combination, Frank.
