This may get some flamage, but headers are probably the worst
$$$/hp mod you can do.  The old expression, you get what you
pay for, well it's true with headers too, go with Greddy or
another good name if you want something that is made extremely
well, but don't expect too much extra power.  Maybe a little
extra HP at the top, but no big difference down low.

There are lots of header names U can get out there. But they
are just two kind U can buy 4-2-1 and 4-1. 
If U want good Torque for your low end then get a 4-2-1. If U
want it up top then go with a 4-1. I have had both on my car.
They will give U power and make your car sound deep. Right now
I have on pace setter  4-2-1 and they are great for low end
torque. The one in my sig is my 4-1 stone racing header.

NONE !!! Fuck headers. They are a waste of money unless you
just like the way they look.

i have an obx header, obx makes some pretty good stuff. my
header and downpipe combo are ceramic coated and definitly
make your exhaust note deeper.  I definitly noticed the high
end pull.  It wasn't huge but it was definitly noticable. 
look into obx emoji

Hey! Guess who just unchecked the "Plain text" check box when they replied? ME!

I have the Pacesetter 4-2-1 and I like it. Like was said above, headers do really little for our cars. The cars that do see huge gains from going to an aftermarket header usually have shitty flowing exhaust to begin with and that's why they notice it so much.

I'd really suggest you take a look in the sections on the home page and find the staged upgrades. It's almost totally figured out for you how to get some decent gains NA and when to do what to make sure you don't forget anything and see the most complete build up.

Go get some Greddy stainless steel headers 4-1, check out the
craftsmanship, it's nice, trust me, it's like night and day,
you'll notice it, finish it off w/ the entire cat-back. Get
yourself a high flow cat from random technology and ofcourse
try to get rid of the resonator and intall a turbo muffler.
There you go emoji 

When is the money spending going to stop on this fucking car?!
