AWR headers/Reliability issues?

[sigep]

I already have my Racing Beat Cat-Back exhaust on order and deciding if it is worth getting the AWR headers. I know a MIL would be needed if I install the headers. Has anyone had any problems with there AWR headers from a Reliability stand point?

not sure about the reliability but be ready for excessive noise coming from the header. your car will be very loud.

Really....That LOUD. I do alot of traveling, so maybe the AWR headers is not so good of a combination. I thought with the Racing Beat exhaust being very quite and awr headers that the noise would be minimal.

thats why i didnt get one...if it wouldnt be so loud i would buy one in a heartbeat!
who wouldnt want that extra power that comes with a header(yes)

dont forget ppl, you DONT loose power with inline resonators just as long as the core is the same size as your pipe work...ok maybe 0.1whp, but are you going to care about 0.1whp when you'll add 15whp with the header?

my exhaust setup will have 2 resonators inline.

RM header + Random Tech cat + Racing Beat cat back= almost too quiet. Less noise than Mazdaspeed axleback with stock pipes and no header.

i expect my exhaust to be only very slightly louder than stock
