headers will not have a u-bend and come with thir own downpipe. get a magniflow 3" high flow cat and have an exhaust shop weld it in

^ Exactly what I did except it was a friend that did the welding. We modified the downpipe to get rid of that dip while we were there too.

if you bought your headers from the following link, you just scammed yourself out of $30, my friend. the GT SD headers are exactly the same as the GTP headers that are listed, but are $30 cheaper.

They're $35 dollars cheaper, but have $35 shipping. Guess how the prices come out?

Im also thinking about getting the SD headers above for an 02 GP GT Coupe.

For complete install onto borla catback, all i should need is a new cat right?

That'll get rid of Ubend and all other stock restrictions?

**blueguy** · 07-27-2010

I'd sell the Borla for a trillion dollars because it is the most expensive and worthless mod out there for the 3800. Then...top swap your car with the headers.

**ptnothere** · 07-27-2010

Lol. I did the borla for the sound not the performance... Even that was underwhelming. An expensive mistake. I dont wanna top swap tho - to much time/work and money...

**TheOtherNick** · 07-27-2010

A top swap is less than that cat back and takes a weekend to do.

Headers on an n/a L36

Now no offense, I get why people want them, but they're worthless on an N/A 3800. More harmful than helpful since you can kiss all your bottom end goodbye. Which, lets be honest, is all an L36/L26 has without any sort of forced induction

**blueguy** · 07-28-2010

Top Swap.

**ptnothere** · 07-29-2010

Anybody know anyone in Vancouver that can do a topswap without raping my wallet then? :P
Im not a student but I am fairly broke lol

i sorta disagree, i feel the loss but its not huge, i feel a difference in the higher end which is where these cars lack, headers just share the tourque with the rest of the powerband.
