    I have a 1998 grand prix GT, Do you think purchasing headers would be worth it? or do I need a supercharger for that?
    I was thinking about getting the ubend delete but If its worth it I could just get some headers. Please help

    Sure its worth it.

    NA or SC it dont really matter.

    I'd suggest some SSAC headers, but when I last looked the website had expired, not sure if its back online yet.

    Its the same company if I remember right, so if you can find them, go ahead and buy them, a thing to note is that they dont come with a cat converter and some rtv silicone and band clamps help seal them up good.

    "Speed Daddys" no longer lists them on eBay anymore. Just get SSAC.

    Pontiac Performance Racing Products for International Sales from SSAutochrome Inc.

    Slightly better throttle response.

    Potentially better MPG.

    Potential reduction of knock.

    Improved/Increased sound.

    Slight mass savings.

    Throttle response will result in everything over 50% feeling the same.

    Can't imagine headers with l67 tb.

    But I'm going to do it haha.
