I want headers

Whats good G heads!! I'm looking to get a set of headers in da G and I have a question. Is there a real difference between these $500 headers and the $125 headers? I've compared specs and materials and they seem just about the same? Is it a name brand I'm paying for or is there really a difference. Holla at me fam.

That's what I thought too but some of these eBay stores offer guarantee fitment and they are made with t304 stainless steel just like some of the more expensive ones. End onf the day, if I gotta spend the money I'll spend it, I just wanna make sure I ain't over paying for something.

Honestly I wanted to increase horse power a bit by letting the car breathe better (cold air, headers, exhaust). Just open it up a bit.

^ Buy a decent brand then, never buy ebay stuff lol.

the stock VQ35DEs headers aren't tuned, so if you are going to get any power is by buying headers which are designed and tuned properly, ebay headers most likly will not be and might actually hurt, let alone are of questionable quality.

Btw installation of headers on the VQ is a bich, you might want to look at Motordyne ART Test Pipes.

I have installed a few sets and it really does open up the exhaust, You can see once the stock ones come of what a choke point it is. Like screens said get a good brand, it will cost you more but in the end it will be worth it.

What is the gain on these cars? can you feel the difference or the gain is too small? I've thought about these too at one point.

Brand doesn't matter for install time required.....headers on the G are generally a major PITA
