    why shouldn't i get headers for my n/a gp. why wouldn't i spend under $250 on ebay headers when a catted zzp dp with shipping is around $200? it doesnt make sense why i wouldnt spend the extra 50

    Only you can answer why you would not do anything. Get headers.

    did the ebay headers you got for your 07 say 97-03 on it? they would be compatible anyway, right?

    'low end' is relative. this is the GM 3800, it makes torque.

    ya i would lose some low end with a 3" dp, anyway (obviously not as much). i dont plan on modding more than intake, hv3, and pcm, along w/ the headers

    I'm with you, I still have plenty of torque and it finally does something in the top end now instead of dieing.

    I wasnt saying not to do it I was just pointing out that you will lose a little Weather its noticable or not no clue

    with the few other mods you are doing headers will go well with it
