Doesn't seem too terrible as the pipes are nearly 2K alone. Wouldn't you go with 1 3/4" or are you planning heads/cam intake or FI in the future.

Google "1 3/4 vs 1 7/8 headers" and join the great debate.

Feeling is smaller tube is better when stock giving more torque at low and mid range where you use it. Larger tube for modded providing more HP at high RPM where you don't spend much time.

Just my 2 cents, ask around before you decide...

I’d say the price is reasonable considering what is planned for the car. Good luck if you go for it.

Some if us spend more time at high rpm than others ......................................
