Hey guys, I'm really interested in getting the Bosal header for my '92 four-cylinder. I'm sure that some of you have this header, and I'd like to know what you think of it. How easy was the install? How much of a difference in power did you notice? Also, how does it sound? I want to make sure that this is a quality product, as it isn't cheap... where is the best place to buy them? Nopi wants like $485, which is too damn much! Thanks.

On this forum, at least Shook, Camry3000, and I have this header. I can't speak for him, but I find good gains at the top end.

The best price was at http://www.stranoparts.com

Expect it to be back ordered.

i got the same header its pretty good but the loss in low end on mine is a result of a big pipe from the cat back making a highflow system in the car... not a lot of low end loss though.. once i hit 3k rpm in second gear im off!! so its not a bad investment...
