Are headers worth it?

For a daily driver, are aftermarket headers and custom y-pipe worth it?

<--- As you can see, I have a V6, but it seems like we may be getting headers available for our cars soon. At $300 a pop, I'm just not sure that I will notice that big of a difference.

I just realized though, that in 8 months, I will be able wo cut bend and weld pipes for myself I am so going to love college.

Personally I would wait and spend the money on a 350 or keep the V6 and just put a cat-back on it.

i agree with pre. i'm not downing v6s or anything. unless you're planning on investing into the rest of the engine, you may not want to put on headers. i'm not sure how much it would cost to drop in a 350 (assuming you aren't doing the work yourself), but i'm sure it wouldn't be cheap. maybe keep the v6 and do headers and a supercharger I say it all depends on what your plans are, man. but if you can make your own for cheap, why not hold off 'till then? either way, do yourself a favor and have them nickle coated. looks shiny and stays shiny:rockon:
