Not worth it in my opinion. Let's have a look at some dyno numbers published on this very website.

Stock:
316 bhp & 356 lb-ft at the crank

PPK:
336 bhp & 377 lb-ft at the crank

That's only +20 bhp & +21 lb-ft from stock to PPK. Or a 6% increase.

There are also reports of people saying that they objectively don't feel a difference in power. No wonder, because 6% is not enough to feel a difference. You would need +20% to really feel something. However is improves the noise and the throttle response and that's the biggest change that people are going to be feeling.

That is NOT worth $1k + labor.
