Are headers worth it with a tune?

That's why I don't think they're worth it, even if you do the install yourself.
The only bad thing about headers is the rediculous amount of money the install costs. It isn't worth it at all for the low amount of HP you gain. Install alone will run you $800-900...
not true, I bought, installed, and had them jet hot coated for around 400$ and gain about 10hp so I think that is worth it.

I typically see them installed on our cars for $300-$600 (depending on which headers).
install price depends on which headers... Crawford are a PITA and big $$$ for labor... headers + cams + tune = potentially decent gains... if/when (more likely when) I do headers I will do cams too... but not without.
