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.
