Well I bought those same headers for the same car and they work very well 
and improve the response ... BUT !

You get what you pay for. The welding is not artistic and the unit was 
quite warped. I had to spend a full day pressing and bench grinding the 
thing to get a good seal at the gasket. Then, I had to fab up little 
spacers and weld them onto the header to get these little oblong clamping 
units to grip, as the header is much thinner. (esp. after grinding!)

I've since looked as five or so more at suppliers and they are all like 
this ... welding in the tubing has warped the pplate that holds the tube.

All in all though it's a good mod, just know what you're in for or line 
up someone to do it.

P.S. 

You're not related to the Canadian family of who are up to their
!@$#@ in Morgans are you? Great bunch !
