  • $$Headers$$$

    Are headers worth the $$$???? I just can't make myself send the cash......

    I'm replaceing the plugs and wires, so I know that this is the time to do it....

    Should I just do Subframe conectors, Lower control rods, and Panhard rod????

    Headers are usually the best "bang for the buck" bolt-on you can do. When coupled with a good y-pipe and cat back system, you can expect a significant power increase. Not to mention the sound!

    If you plan to do any more power increasing mods to the car I would suggest getting a 1 3/4 long tube header. The ground clearance is no where near as bad as is "rumored" as long as the y-pipe is installed correctly.

      I dunno KG, i saw a pic of a guy with a tape measure... He had his car lowered and the collector from his header was about 2" from the ground. A little under I think. I wanted a long tube, but I'm in MI. If I lived down south I probably would have gone with LT's regardless of my 2" dropped car. But up here in MI... You're asking for damaged underbody and stuff

        I went with the MAC mid lengths - no clearnace issues and plug access is great. They're only 1 5/8" though. And I won't even mention their tech support. But we'll see what the dyno says soon!
