Why?
Its a BIG step backwards, and you would probably have to replace the down pipe as well.
Pro's..... errrrrrm a flat 4 sound?? :shrug:
Cons, loss of bhp, loss of torque, would need a remap, would loose that even better rally car sound (jet fighter if you like to call it that
)
If you want a flat 4 sound, get a type uk
If you want a car that doesnt need to have ported headers to get torque/bhp, then stick with a JDM twin scroll
Just look at how much work you need on a type UK to get the sort of bhp/torque you do on a JDM, your going backwards doing something the car definately doesnt need (cos the original part is BETTER)

All you need on one of these for 360bhp is an exhaust and filter, you should have atleast 360lbs of torque at the end of it, 370+lbs is more like it, seen them with 400lbs with just an exhaust and filter (remapped)

PS, no I wouldnt want to change the sound back, the car is a lot smoother without the uneven idle that uneven lenght headers give you
