    I've been debating on whether to grab a plog from zzp or a set of ported headers from 3800performance. The ported headers are cheaper after the core refund, but will require more work to install. I'm not getting any sort of down pipe because of emissions, but I'd like to open up my exhaust just a bit more.

    I'd like some input because I'm not sure where to go with this one.

    Go headers......

    they arnt hard to install at all. just drop the two back cradle bolts an inch or so and you can slip the read header right in from the bottom and the front is easy

    double check that the flange on the PLOG is welded on properly before you pay for it, mine wasn't and it has caused me major problems

    I'd go powerlog. It may help a bit if thats what you're looking for right now. They also hold their value well if you do decide to go with headers. Headers are not for everyone.

    Since your n/a I'd recommend a plog and or downpipe combo vs headers.

    I live in California, any sort of downpipe other than stock and I won't pass emissions. I've decided I'm going with a plog and u-bend delete, it's just an NA anyway.
    Thanks for all the input!

    After that, coilovers are next...

    the holes in the flange did not line up with the holes in the engine block for all of the bolts
