I was wondering if these ebay headers are good? does anyone have it? and what is the quality of it? any improvements?

I just got mine installed over the weekend. And like everyone else, my "seat of the pants" dyno says that it gives more power in the higher RPMs I noticed quicker highway acceleration.

Another thing to note. Its a PITA to get that out of there with both the alternator in the way and the bracket attached to the transmission.
Also, after taking the second O2 sensor out, I found that the threads were all messed up and that putting it back into the new header would cause more harm than good. So I'm running with the primary O2 sensor plugged in, and the second one completely removed. I have thrown no codes yet after 3 days of driving, so I'd say I'm ok.

The biggest improvement was probably replacing the 500lb exhaust manifold/cat with a 10-15lb one. That thing is HEAVY.

does anyone know what it sounds like with the stock piping/resonator/muffler?
like is it raspy?/ricey?/slightly louder?/a lot louder?/does it pop a bunch?
I can't tell any noticeable difference from inside the car. I have an Injen SRI so it makes it harder to hear the exhaust anyway. If there is a difference, its probably minor.
