Don (SlvStng) has the same setup you are looking at and with borlas, dumped. I am supposed to swap with him relatively soon. I'll figure out a way to get a sound clip whenever we get around to it.

If you are getting headers though, do not get shorties. They do very little for power (nor sound). In my opinion, headers on a 3.8 should definitely be the last on the list. I didn't listen, and I regret it. However, on a power adder car it's a good one! Magazines aren't a good thing to go from, but MAC shorties dynoed 1rwhp and long tubes were 6rwhp. I forgot about tq but I know it at least matches the respective hp numbers.

Get them coated... the MAC coat sucks. Come look at my <2 year old headers and see how they rust (and leak).
