Nice sound. Ordered thorley's but they were on back order for a month so I pulled the trigger on Banks... ouch.
Having them installed next week and will reply here with before/after. Took awhile to find a shop that even wanted my business for removing the factory manifolds.

I had to go straight to a shop that only dealt with performance exhaust systems to get this done. They were the most reasonable on price and when I described the problem over the phone he said, "Oh, you must have a Ford V10." After that I knew that was the place to go.

No, I have a 4" catback exhaust then installed the SPD y-pipe and think it was a waste of money on the early V10'S like we have. Engine revs to freely afterwards. My Thorley's are waiting in the box now.

I'm looking at some Gibson stainless headers, which appears to come with new studs/bolts. I don't think it comes with a new Y-pipe though. What brand "good" headers are you referring to? I saw a Banks kit with headers and Y-pipe, but for $1,200 not including installation they can pound sand. I also don't think the Banks kit is California emissions compliant.
the banks headers are carb compliant
