go for it, theyre a great mod to really open up the exhaust. if you wanna go the turbo route, doward is gonna get a y-pipe made for our headers once he gets a set or a car w/ them to fit it to. it can only benefit you, and getting them through summit delivered to your door for $220, ya cant beat it w/ a stick!!!!

i think that if you are gonna go forced induction, then yes you will be smart to get the shorties, but if you were gonna go N/A try and find a set of longtube. if you are gonna go forced induction, watch your cam selection, as your motor might not respond as well if you put a really radical cam in there as to a slightly more mild cam. just some words to the wise that i learned from working on buddies ricers(cheap punks)

Will they be a waste? Not at all!! Keep in mind, as soon as I get a set of Pacesetters myself, I will be making a Y pipe for the turbo kits, specifically for those headers
