headers dont do much for our cars, if you want looks then get a greddy header or bosal headder, if you want the power/less restriction your better off porting out your stock exhaust manifold, it will yield better power gains.

Thanks for the info. I thought that headers derived their power increases from their equal-length runners, which smooth out the airflow exhaust pulses. I can see a ported exhaust manifold flowing better, but not doing much for tuning exhaust pulses... since headers don't help much, I guess our stock manifold is already pretty close to the "optimum" length?

P.S. - Can anyone see my signature/avatar? I'm not sure if my host allows remote linking. Thanks again guys!

yea, I agree with mcgyvr on this one. header is a waste of money on our cars. only good thing about is it is definately better looking then our stockers (don't take off your exhaust manifold shield). and no your sig/avatar are not showing
