top speed/dc/strup. They're basically the same. I bought my top speed headers on here ~2-3yrs ago for $200 brand new. Gains across the entire RPM band and they sound badass.

Ok so you admit you haven't done research and want us to do it for you? Just search it up and you'll have tons of information.

But im not going to leave you without some info . As far as "top notch", Crawfords seem to be the ones. But they're pretty damn pricey.

As for me, I'll be going for DC Sport headers SS. They seem to work great, and are fairly priced.

Goodluck... and do more research!

it is a pain. that's why it's not uncommon for shops to charge 300-500 bucks for installation.

Hi,

Don't mean to jack the thread. For those who have headers....

1. Did you lose any low-end power?

2. What kind of exhaust system are you running w/ the headers?

3. Do the headers make your G sound better or worse?


Thanks

1) Typically, headers should not see any loss in low end power.

2) It's all personal choice. As long as its 2.25/2.5 inch exhaust, it should work. 3.0 inch exhausts are usually for FI and not beneficial for NA.

3) Sound is subjective. But it will make it louder.

Thank you all for your feedback


How's fuel economy after installing headers? Eats up more gas I assume?
