I would say screw headers. Just call your local machine shop and ask them to port your stock manifolds. They will outflow almost any header on the market if done correctly.

Actually they are a very good buy. I believe that they give you a better increase than most other mods.

As I was reading, I was like what the crap are you talking about. Yep, headers are one of the best first mods that should be done. The stock manifolds are very restrictive and if you look at the stock y pipe the way it is shaped it is very restrictive as well.

The stock manifolds are very restrictive but if you buy headers get a good set that have A.I.R. adapters and make sure you buy a y pipe from that company too.

Yeah, they're worth it. If you did some of the cheaper mods, and thought you felt a difference, then you'll definitely like headers.
