I have no direct experience with this, but there is a very strong 
opinion out there that the drop-in P/C sets are not a good long term 
solution.  They have the same OD as stock, but larger ID therefore 
thinner wall.  They tend to warp under the heat of use and lose power 
after the first few thousand miles of use.

The best advice I can give you is to stick to stock, or bite the 
bullet and do it right.
