The car feels solid and pulls fast at any speed with no hesitation. So far, after adjusting the 90 O2 extenders to the mid pipe, there are no CELs in all modes, though I'm still babying the car in sport+ mode and tried it for a little bit with no hard pulls. I just want to make sure all is well before I do any hard pulls in sport+. I did a few pulls in sport mode, and all is well; the exhaust and the headers just transfer the car to another level.

Other than the power gains and the price, mainly the sound. I wanted something that is more efficient and sounds more exotic, specially for a NA engine. As per my research both provide the same power gains, but the EL headers delivers more exotic sound rather than just a V8 rumble ,and also provides better mid range improvement. So far, I can't be happier with the outcome; they did deliver what I was looking for.
Nice, I will be running almost identical setup except I won’t have the Joe Z muffler only the x pipe. Did you use aftermarket engine mounts for the header install?

No, existing mounts, or are your referring to the gaskets? The gaskets come with the headers. Keep in mind also when installing the headers that the oil dip stick housing need to be bent to be able to be installed properly, or you can ask PPE to send you a pre bent dip stick housing with a mounting bracket.
I've been getting many requests for how the car sounds with the headers, therefore I did a new video of the exhaust sound while cruising in the car. I hope you guys like it.
I was a sceptic at first about the product, though others installed it and gave very good reviews about it, but once I tried it, I'm a believer now. It did improve the throttle response tremendously, and the car is much more responsive. I tried all settings and you can feel the change between all the settings. I currently have it on race and setting 9, which is the highest and it is crazy, because even with feathering the gas pedal, the car jumps and tires spin and becomes difficult to control when on sport and sport+, but I might tune it down to race and setting 5. I just love how the car becomes and there is no delay when you want to go. It also has a valet setting and a safety setting that disables the gas pedal.
Installation was very straight forward and took me and a friend less than 5 minutes to install it once you know where to press to disconnect the factory bus. The best way is to lay on your back under the dash to have easy view and access to the accelerator bus, and it is a quick disconnect of the factory bus and connecting the Sprint Booster. I have a picture below to show where to press.
