Headers

What do you guys think about these headers?

I'm looking to get good headers within a good budget.

The general consensus on here is that headers don't produce enough gains to justify the cost. Install in also a major pain in the butt.

$99 headers are not going to be good headers.
As with any good exhaust system, you get what you pay for. You can slap any ole muffler on your car, but if you are looking for any performance gains you will need to spend some money. The money you pay ( for a good set-up) covers the research and development it took to create a set-up that performs as good as it sounds. If you are serious about headers I would research them on here a bit to see what people that own them like or dislike about them. For some reason $500 range comes to mind for the install, and the same for the cost of a decent set of headers. Not a lot have them because of the high cost vs low gains ratio. Hope that helps.

yea cost vs gains headers should probably be the last upgrade you do it really doesn't benefit you any amount worth mentioning unless you go forced induction

True....^....if you're interested in HP increase and a better sounding exhaust buy/install BERK'S HFCs. OE cats is where most of the restriction is!
