The price seems good. Installation is another thing if paying someone to do it.

Fyi...if you are paying to get these installed expect to pay any from $400 - $700 bucks depending on where you go. Well, this is for a GS400. It is said that install is a little easier on the 430 for some reason.

They sure did! Check out the first sentence of the GB thread. " Newly redesigned V8 Headers ".

B...this was just an issue for the 430 though, right? According to PPE and FIGS that issue has been resolved.
