need budget efficient headers
hey guys, i'm really on a tight budget hear. but my car is screaming for headers right now heh.
any headers ya guys can recommend that are cost efficient, and at the same time do a good job.
also if i painted them with high temp paint. would it keep them from gettin rusted?

I'd rather have a set of good used headers, than brand-new cheapsters. Maybe you could look around for some used ones (coated would be nice!). Of course, I guess brand-new cheapsters are better than manifolds. In that case, look into Flowtechs, Summit house-brand headers, or maybe Dynomaxes (I'd hesitate to call Dynomaxes cheap, but they're pretty affordable).

If you're gonna go cheap, buy the Summit brand headers. I had a set of those on my Camaro before I got my SLP's. You will need to fabricate a Y-pipe for them, but it's really not too big a deal. They are SO much better than Flowtech, or Pacesetter. I think they're only like $140 or so, so they aren't that bad. Otherwise there is that deal with the Heddmans that you can get with the Ypipe and the headers for like $200.

The reason I know this; Someone on here posted that they called Summit to ask about the Y-pipe, and the sales rep told him the the Flowtech is the one to buy because they're the ones that make the headers for Summit. :sillylol:
So he heard it straight from the horse's mouth.

Its going to be expensive since you need the AIR tubes. Check the want ads, I know some people had used coated Hookers for like $100/$200.
