I answered your header post, get a set, they are a GREAT MOD! With a CAI and exhaust the headers really get everything working together. Not much gain down low as far as torque goes (I plan on a cam for that), but starting at about 2500 rpm or so, it's like a whole new beast. Plus they really enhance the sound of the exhaust, not much louder, but deeper and throatier!!!
Also added between 1 & 2 mpg's to boot...

A word of advice. Like me, once you add the headers (especially Long Tubes), you'll have a lot of mods that lean your A/F quite a bit. The tuner advances the timing and better breathing (CAI, exhaust & headers) all contribute to a lean state. Some report a CEL after the above mods. I wasn't in the CEL range, but quite lean nontheless. I added a 180* thermostat which acts to richen the mix a bit. Brought me right back to just a tad below stock specs...

What model silverstars did you get? I though I got the brightest ones they had, it was on sale but still less than 100 for all 4.

You really can't unless you opt for a custom tune or put in a piggyback A/F controller. But you can add mods that will push you a little one way or the other. Like I said, I was lean, but a colder thermostat fools the PCM into thinking it's always warming up, so it increases the fuel in the mix all the time. It brought me right back to spec...
