Which Headers?

Decided to try and find some headers for my G, which way should I go?

Looking to spend between 500 and 750 so i can get this and a tint for under 1000

I personally went with DC Sports. But if you're having a shop do the work, the install was a b*tch and that alone might cost you up to $750. But then again, I've heard coupes have a bit more space to work with than sedans...

I also went with the DC sports. BATCH and a half. Very tight working space. Most places will charge 300-500 for the install alone.

well, i feel the DC is the best overall... for headers more top end gains = more low end loss. DC seems to have got it right w/a nice balance.

Most other companies copy the DC design, which was at the least a close replica of the Nismo design... compare the prices yourself...

Tomei v2 would have been a better choice for gains, but for your budget it would have been a terrible choice. Good choice and good luck.

Nismo makes the most power with out require lifting your engine.
Other than that DC, Stillen, etc are pretty much the same.
Crawford and Nismo are the only two true equal length but you need to take your engine out to install crawford.

I went with the DC sports ceramic coated to cut down on the heat. You really can't see them anyway. Another happy DC sports buyer here.
