I spoked (well , mailed at least) with a guy who welded those headers. Speedparts is selling his headers actually.

I also asked some folks from saab turboclub of sweden and they said that headers make different sound and help a lot on the top-end of RPM-range. But if you are fitting extractors, open air-filter, big-gun turbo and all the usual go-fast parts expect tottaly different engine-caracteristics ... it will be slightly worse down the range and *much* more explosive on the top...which would make you feel you lost heaps of low-RPM torque (which you didn't , just got more on the top)

conclusion:

If you are really serious about engine mods, extractors are way to go...

P.S. (if you shop in group you would probably gett better price, 2:nd ... i don't know if swedish 25$ "moms" taxes are included in 5500 SEK-price, you wouldn't need to pay it if they ship it to USA)
