Unless you're just made of money and don't care, lol

If I were you I would install the headers. Then shoot me a PM about the uprev 13:4 is a little leaner than I would like to see it
It was $600 in my case!

That's actually a more realistic price, but I used 500 cause its a nice round number.. And there's always gonna be someone that cames on and calls BS saying that he got them installed for $200 out the door...

Of course, maybe some high performance, long lasting MEGAN racing headers!

Nice...good info. The headers that I got are the strup, haven't read bad things about them, neither good ones, so I figure they're OK. I'm gonna ceramic coat them since I read they add a lot of heat to the engine bay and since apparently my intake plenum sucks on heat soaked it seems logic. Do I need new gaskets for the headers or I can reuse mine??
I'll install the headers get new plugs, change the oil (recommendations are welcome for engine and transmission) and definetly get the Osiris.

What about the injen cai...would it worth buy a KN filter to use the oem box with the z-tube??

I would buy new OEM nissan gaskets for the headers. Ceramic coating or heat wrapping them is also a good idea. For plugs use NGK LFR6AIX-11 (one step colder than stock, great if you're going to tune) or LFR5AIX-11 (stock heat range)
You have a 6MT so you aren't limited to the Nissan fluid for the tranny like the auto guys are, everyone has their own preference but I like Motul fluids

check rockauto.com for the plugs and filter, they may even have gaskets. If not the nissan dealer or online, doesn't really matter, but I would only use genuine nissan gaskets for the headers.
