Yes there is a definite benefit. First of all I would have more money.
The benefit to your engine would be bigger exhaust tubes and less back pressure, maybe more HP. You would need to change the muffler bracket and muffler. J tubes and other heater tine stays the same.
What would make more sense is to get one of the 1.8L SSI sets I have. They have the bigger tubes, don't rust and your could keep your current muffler and muffler bracket. I have two pairs now. I think there is an ad out there some where with one of the pairs. $300 for the pair plus shipping.

Bruce, any benefit to putting these on a 1911 vice the 1.7/1.8 HE's on there now? Would I need different J-tubes, different sheet metal, muffler, etc? Is this just a can a worms with little payoff? Thanks,
Nate
