I recomend this mod. The installation was pretty straight forward. though i had the same problem everone else had, the holes on the headers didn't line up. just have to drill it out a little and you're good to go. when I first turned the car on, it sounded like a dirt bike, but after awhile i got used to it and it sounds normal now. I didn't feel any loss on the low end, and it's alot smoother to red line, less restrictive. I've had the header on for 1.5 yrs and never had a CEL. I say go for it, you won't regret it.

Sorry, i don't have any sound clips. My friend has a 2.5 with the same exhaust as i do(greddy evo), and i think his sounds deeper. when i first started the car, it sounded very TINGY. kinda like a dirt bike or a gas powered remote control car. but after awhile it got deeper.

I've got the single-port borla headers on my wagon- I couldn't tell much of a difference when I first put them on, but once I got my cat-back installed, they seem to combine for a nice, low rumble.
In addition to the hole-drilling problem, another problem I had was the two header pipes vibrating between one another. I fixed this by wrapping the portion where they were vibrating with header wrap. Another note: the oil filter is MUCH more difficult to access- I can now barley get the filter wrench up in there... but it works...
