well do do minimal mods, withe 2.8 all you get is reliability, asthetics, 4X4 status, and a nice ride. euro sport is a very good and reputable company. it looks good though, this is actually the first performance thing ive seen (or heard of) since i got into audis and every suggested mahn shorty headers. a bit pricey in my opinion though

Not worth it imo. If you want to get a nice roar then put about half of what you would pay for those headers into a nice exhaust setup. Or pick up some wheels, summer time is coming.

like its been said before the 2.8 is not for performance, if you want a better sound just get a nice catback exhaust itll probably do the same thing as header and costs the same but add more asthetics wiuth the tips and better sound.

Not to mention that it's going to be a monstrous pain in the *** to install the headers. I don't know for sure, but given the way the engine bay is laid out and how packed it is, you may be either a) pulling the engine, or b) dropping the front part of the drivetrain to install them. $1142 plus all that for a midrange gain of maybe 15hp or so. I can't see doing it just to do it. If your motor was out anyhow, then sure, but if it comes down to an engine removal or dropping the driveline to put them in, well, I've pulled enough motors in my past that I wouldn't do it.
Again, I don't know that you'd have to, but looking in the bay, I can't believe you could put 'em in too easily without doing major disassembly.
