A lot of the boys on the ford forums have hurricanes in the ba/bf's and love 'em. Supposed to be pretty good gains for the price, but in the end you usually get what you pay for, so it's probably worthwhile to just lash out with the extra coin for your pride and joy.

Yeah I have only heard good things about them performance wise. Durabilty not sure, but if they give you couple years warranty then thats fine.

Hurricane Headers, Hurricane Performance, True Performance, hurricaneheaders.com

Send them an email and ask them. What price did the shop quote you ? I think Pacies are usually up around $700 fitted and Genie some fit for same price, but you can actually get them fitted for under $600 if you shop around.

I do Hurricanes for $330 so $300 is a very good price.

Not in my opinion. You will never get $250 worth of extra performance out of the Pacies....
