how well do headers help performance? i have a 2.5 in catback, and a CAI and wondering how well a set of performance 4 2 1 exhaust headers will help. are they worth the 200 - 300 some odd bucks? do you actually notice power difference?
any experience will help
thanks

If you buy headers, then you will have bought 2 and youonly need one. So if they're really expensive headers, you could send me he second set to hold for you, okay?
A header will help to smooth out the exhaust gas pulses and make the engine perform better. The easier the car breathes, the more power you can make from it. Most people agree that a header, while not really going to make you any more hp, is a worthwile mod, as it supports other intake exhaust mods to make more power.
