for a nice, cheaper set of headers, i'd look at S&S.
PEMs or P-logs only do so much. For the price of those with a nice 3" DP, a set of decent headers could be had for not much more.
No matter what you'll need to scan.
Need to also think about the little things such as a tuned PCM, 180-tstat, and a set of colder plugs. The car probably needs some maintence too. Radiator flushed and refilled, tranny fluid + filter change, oil change, S/C oil change, fuel filter. Hoses and belts should be checked for any rot. It doesn't matter that the car has 15,000 miles on it, no matter what its still an 11 year old car and **** ages even if its not being used.
