It is the same engine so there should be no problem. I highly doubt Nissan made drastic changes for just one year.

IMO, dont get headers unless you are gonna get your car tuned because with the amount of money you pay for the headers/install the gains are way too minimal. (Unless you are getting a tune)

I got Nismo headers on my 06 and there was a very noticeable gain even i didn't get my car tuned.
I believe they are the same from 03~07.

Yeah I just got Nismo Headers as well and the gains were there without the tune.

then I just reflashed my ECU with the tune from Uprev, and Im lovin it!

But if you do decide on headers, it would be worth while to save for some sort of tune. Not just the ECU reset.

thanks a lot guys. I finally got ahold of someone at dc tech and they told me they would work. I intend on getting it tuned. im not looking to be cheap and do a few simple mods that won't do much. I want to do it right. im just not made of money so some things have to wait. I have a bunch of parts in the mail ill keep u updated

I believe around $700 and that comes with 3 (I believe) free tunes. You data log your ECU, email it to them and they send you a tune via email. You need a laptop to install the tunes. I beleive they use the cruise control to select which tuune you want to run and it can be changes while in motion. The cruise control also still functions as a cruise control. Search for the product on here for more info.

go to the local dyno & tune fest I told you about... not only will you learn everything you need to know - you might actually win an Osiris dyno tune package!!! Anyone that knows what this is will tell you it’s a good thing, a VERY good thing!!!

The UpRev guys will be there (they're the ones that developed Osiris) and a bunch of modded cars (including mine) will be there dynoing... I highly suggest you attend, you will learn more there in one day than you will here in a month.

Yea, I'm at the point now where all I care to get next is headers unless I decide to do more internal engine work which doesnt thrill me :/ Let me know what you think of those headers too, I've seen a lot of people on here have the strups and I've heard some mixed things about them...mostly its people with a bad combination of parts tho :P
