I would think all of the mods would boost MPGs. Those headers look expensive though. I bought a cheap set of shorties off of eBay for about 110$. No problems with em (i dont see a point in spending alot of $ on shorties on our sixxers, very small difference!). I've got those wires on my 05.

Your right. Not bad $. Only thing Is on the reviews they say the black paint comes right off. So if your getting them cause their black you might reconsider I got these. Only thing is I re used stock bolts & nuts.

is it okay to use the stock bolts and nuts? or is it better to use the ones that come with the headers?

If the headers come with a good quality set of bolts & nuts use them. The only reason I used stockers is cause they sent cheap bolts & nuts.

the one drawback to trying to remove the head studs is if you break one trying to remove them you might have a job on your hands. the little torx ends break real easy. some guys have double nutted them to remove them. theres really no point to go through all that. you will have to use new bolts for the cats.

the head studs dont rust, just the nuts do. i re used all mine too. i might replace the nuts someday with new stainless. my e bay headers have been on for 4 years, $100, no issues at all.( and i still havent replaced those darn nuts)

the stainless headers dont look good after a few years either. ive been running a demon coil and live wires for 4-5 years too. at that time it was the only aftermarket coil. i think i would go with the accel myself, but what i have has been great. those items your looking at will not greatly increase your performance but are decent upgrades. mod addiction can be alot of fun
