This is the answer I have seen everywhere and everyone's opinion.

You're better off saving your money and getting HFCs or something else.....seriously.


Then again...if you just have the money to burn for no reason at all.... Go for it.

Not to mention that headers are a pain in the *** to install and the labour is way to expensive if you pay somebody else to do it.

True that, just stick to some test pipes and true dual exhausts for maximum flow.

Agreed, the OEM exhaust manifold are technically headers!
The design can't be bettered.

There is a difference between headers and the stock manifolds. Stillen's headers tubing are all the same length were the stocks are not. There is also a huge wieght difference.

But they are right about install, it will run between $ 400-600. That's what you'll spend on the headers.

I would do it again. People spend good money on exhausts when it doesn't add tons of power. My opinion; Headers, HFC or TP, Y-pipe. You'll only spend a couple hundred over a good exhaust and you'll get better performance.

People normally spend money on catbacks for both the added sound and performance gains. After test pipes, the gains in sound and performance becomes very minimal to justify the price.

Fast Intentions Long tube Headers FTFW!!!!

But i agree with the guys above installation is a bitch, and the gains (if any) are so minimal it's not worth it.
