My guess is you are used to the sound now.

I wonder if the GMG headers gain power. GMG has a great reputation in Porsche racing and I just can't imagine they would put a product out that didn't make the car faster. That is so not them. And who knows maybe Champion Motorsports one day might develop a set of headers that would make more power with its mods and the GiAC tune.
I have a set of Kline's headers on the way. They are equal length which is definitely an advantage over the FVD. I haven't seen any documented power gains though. Purely speculation.

I would do what I did. Have a performance tuner dyno the car before you put on the headers and then after. Then you'll know if they help or hurt performance.
