Possibly a bit more torque, earlier spool if you get equal length headers (versus unequals). Equals will make your car sound like a raspy Honda however.

$500 China headers are fine. Most of them are exactly the same as the $1000 offerings like Tomei, etc (come from the same factory in Thailand or Taiwan, I forget which one).

they're great for larger turbo applications, i wouldn't wast your time with anything smaller than a vf22

one of the forester lads actually made LESS power with a td04 fitted after a retune & fitted eq length headers

Make sure whoever fits them is decent.

My header experience was not the best.
