I agree with lightshow. The header is money well spent and the before & after is noticed immediately.

on a 1 to 10 scale a header install is a 4. the hardest part will be the rustly nuts and bolts.

My exhaust was just like that. Make sure to soak those bolts in liquid wrench or something a day before and then again before you try to take them off. I'd get a friend to help you and take turns yanking at those bolts. After that it shouldn't be too bad. Good luck.

Hey, im not trying to down anyones car or anything but, automatics don't sound good at all with an exhaust. they drone and drone because of the constant revving of the engine because of the transmission. it sounds like your free revving the engine at a stop light

My car is unfortunately an auto but, I don't really hear it at a stop. Only when I'm on the gas. I'll have to get that video out later tonight if i can.

Edit: I've got a video now, but it's so low/quiet that the camera I have won't pick up the noise. Maybe I'll have to just stick the camera up next to the exhaust and rev it.
