    this is just the front part of the headers right? can i just bolt this on with the stock headers? what will this do in terms on performance?

    No matter what you do, the U-bend has to go, and the manifold is a terrible design for even mild performance. Speed Daddys will take care of both.

    between the PLOG and the ubend delete and porting the rear manifold to match you should just suck it up and spend 200 bucks on the SD headers and be done. I antagonized over this exact issue and went headers on my Park Ave Ultra. no regrets.

    Why spend 150 on a single bank pipe, while still using a stock rear manifold, downpipe, and U-bend. Take the extra $50 and the extra ~2 hours and do headers. They look better, flow better, and aren't too complicated to install. Hardest part would be a little welding, but you can even just use clamps.

    So are the headers a better deal at 201$ shipped vs the zzp plot ag 150$ plus shipping. So basically about the same after shipping....

    Dont mod your daily driver.
    The PLOG is such a waste, $150 for that plus shipping, then you still have to remove the crappy stock downpipe and ubend thats another $120 if you go with the cheap zzp dp. Your now at $270 before shipping and you still have the stock rear manifold. Just buy headers and save your self the trouble.

    I have a plog and DP. Only because..they fell into my garage for the right prices. Things you can expect with these parts: Plog will crack due to inferior welding and the manifold to Dp gasket will leak.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I have a DP and PLOT just because I bought them right before the cheap Speed Daddy headers came out, so I'm stuck with them lol.
