    I skimmed thru the header post and found some very useful info. So i started lookin into headers on the ol interwebs and found a set by pro tuning lab for like $185. Does anybody know if they would be worth it. Or if i shouldnt waste my money on them and get a name brand set

    For $185 I'd honestly just buy a set of SD Headers off of Ebay.

    Offer $197.19 and you'll get them instantly. At least I did =P

    This kit? http://www.protuninglab.com/ts-he-pgprix97-c.html
    If so no, those are Pacesetter knock offs and have the same issues as the OBX ones do. Steer clear of any of that style header.

    Yeah. I bought those ebay SD Headers. Was working on building up my new engine today. Thinking about making a "my ride" thread or whatever on here. But the SD Headers I bought look really nice

    In my opinion and from things I have read, either go SDs if your cheep or go with ZZPs.

    Good plan. Maintenance first! And a u-bend delete is one of the best first things you can do for your car

    Do not waste your money on a ubend delete if you are going to buy headers.

    ^yes. If you are going to do headers, they will replace the u-bend. I was just saying that if you ever plan on remaining stock, at least do the u-bend delete. I did a downpipe with high flowing cat when I first got my car thinking I wouldn't take it far. Now I am going with headers and doing a cam build.. Lol

    You're gonna love your cam/headers. I did the VS cam and SD headers, and a 3.4" pulley. I haven't even gotten my car tuned and there is an awesome amount of torque increase. What cam are you going with?

    Also, words of advice on the flex pipe from the SD Headers. Theres a 99% chance you will have to replace the flex pipe for SD headers. It leaks really bad. Buy ZZP's double wall flex and have it welded in.

    The flex pipe is single wall. It's only the braided material. If you shine a flashlight on the flex, you can see light pour through it. Go to ZZP's page and check out their flex pipe, you'll see what I mean.
