    Im looking to upgrade my exhaust pretty soon along with all the other maintenance. Are there exhaust manifolds that perform as well or close to headers on a 2002 GTP? I'm looking for something in the middle due to the cost of headers. Any help us appreciated thanks!

    Headers can be had for $200. If thats too much you dont need to do any mods.

    I'd sit around on here or on any 3800 forum and see if any used ones come up for sale. You can get them for much cheaper that way. Even new, they're cheaper than buying online.

    Are the Speed Daddy seller the best ebay choice? Ebay has a bunch of different companies selling what looks to be the same SSAC/SLP knock offs.

    the speed daddys seem to fit the best for the price.

    When you say SSC do you mean SSAC?
    Per SSAC web site the primaries are 1.75" and made of mild steel. The speed daddy have 1.5" primaries and are made of T-304 SS.

    The larger primaries dont do much unless the engine is pushing 350+ hp from what i read.

    I've bought/installed 3 sets of speed daddy headers for my own vehicles. They are easily worth the $200 plus band clamps etc.
