Don't expect much out of headers. A good header should give you some positive results, but not earthshattering. Headers tend to fall into the "yeah it feels a little faster" category. I felt like my old pacesetter headers provided some more power, but it wasn't all that dramatic.

The Greddy is not going to really affect the low end that much but free up some more power in the midrange and top due to its 4to1 design. The 4-2-1 headers out there will provide you with lowend and midrange but wont do anything for the top. Basically in my opinion its all about torque youll feel torque gains but very little HP gains.

i take it your auto because of the times u run....us auto guys would be better off gettin a 4-2-1 designed header because of the low to mid range power the 4-2-1 makes....we need all the help we can get off the line and this one should help....the 4-1 will help also but by the time we start using the power it makes where already behind....the faster your 60' time is the faster u will be....the manuel guys dont have to worry about the low end power too much when racing because they rev up to take off....taking them out of that range....we cant....so our problem is in the take off....the more low end power u can make..the faster u can get off the line and that equals faster times.....this is just my thought on it.....u will feel the 4-1 alittle but notice the 4-2-1 more because of where it makes the power.....

O.k. I have the greddy header and it's great when the rpm's are up. Until then the engine feels the same. As for churping the tires well I can get the O.Z. wheels to do it but the 18's on there are a little tuff. As for you 1/4 mile time If you running 18.5's now expect another 10th to come off. My car was running 18.53s until I dropped some weight got a 17.91 last week.

I ran a 18.418, r/t of .165, but thats with my spare tire/jack out, nothing else removed other than the sunroof sliding cover which aint shit, i do have 1 12' sub, im going to take out next time I go, im looking into tranny mods right now, a TQ lockup switch seems simple and cheap for a gain, and im thinkin the symborski shift kit would be cool but a pain in the ass to put in even though its cheap, and the final drive gear is a matter of time, sound slike the pacesetter 421 header would be more of what im wanting for the low end power, i would have just though greddy would have better power gains and therefore help get some time knocked off, im only paying $250 for it (the price of a ceramic coated pacesetter) so i figure im best staying with the greddy due to the price, or do u still think i should go pacesetter?

I have the full shebang. I really don't think that you will get the response that you want until you get into some major engine changes (cams, turbo, porting ect...) and a higher stall torque converter.
that being said, I have the pacesetter header and I feel that it WAS worth the $$, but only because of the smoothness of the exhaust and the bragging rights. it did not help my times one bit.

^^ thats the kind of MPH I would expect from my 17.91 pass but it was at 79.8 mph. The car pushes at the end of the track but feels like I'm dragging a truck threw 1st gear. My mph is always in the uper 70s even when I run low 18's what gives?

yeah that one hes talking about is for the manual. The Transgo shift kit is for the autos. If you really want to help your times do the header 4-2-1. But also do the Final Drive Mod, The shift kit, TQ Lockup kill switch, ( would recommend a cooler at this point ), and finally the UDP. DO those and youll be doing much much better. Also the sub and anything else that added weight isnt helping.
