Exhaust Headers??

I was reading the thread about replacing the uppipes and I saw DI's uppipes and then stumbled across their exhaust headers.

They sure are pretty. But my question is.. Do they work? Really improve spool up?

I'm guessing by the price tag these are usually reserved for people going very big?
Thanks guys.

Andrew, I believe they are for really built trucks. I have heard that these stock manifolds are more than enough for mild to moderately built trucks like most of ours.

You really won't see any performance gains like Jason mentioned. It will have a cooler sound to it. Unless you're running a fully built motor with an insanely huge turbo, they're just expensive fluff.
