    I'm a 19 year old college student, so a decent amount of money is hard to come by. Any mods that are fairly cheap and safe out there? Anything is helpful :].

    I found some fairly cheap headers, how hard would it be to install them and how long would it take?

    ebay headers? speed daddys? the fit well and arent that bad of an install. if you know your way around the engine bay then you shouldnt have a bad time. expect an afternoons worth of work if everything goes smoothly.

    the ebay ones are the speeddaddys. the ones i ordered required some customizing like grinding down the trans a bit and cutting the crossover pipe. other than that its a good fit. this was their old design though so i dont know about theyre revised ones.

    you dont want those. find the seller 'speed daddy' and get the headers he is selling. they look the same, but they arent.

    SD headers can take a long ass time if you let people who dont know what they're doing do part of the install for you since you need to go to work..........

    But yeah.

    figure eight hours since you've prolly never wrenched on one of these before.

    Anyone have the link for the write-up?

    But yeah, no. I'll be doing the work myself with 2 of my buddies. So I think I'll be okay.

    YOU ARE THE MAN! Haha. Sorry, I'm new to American cars, I had a 1994 BMW E34 before this. European cars are a pain in the ass.
