Why no headers?
Headers should always be at the top of the priority list with these 3800's. The stock manifolds breathe no better than a coffee straw, and with blower that makes an extreme amount of heat, it's just asking for problems.
Not sure what headers you plan on buying, but most people would recommend Speed Daddy headers. You an get them off eBay or Speed Daddy's website itself for roughly $220 shipped. The only issue, is the flex pipe is hit or miss with them. I'd just recommend buying a dual-walled flex from ZZP for $40 and never have to look back again.
Yeah man I know! Ha. I'm in college so I only have so much right now but I'm saving up. I said they have ported manifolds, not stock, so they are a little better. I never push the car though because I know even those are constrictive. Yeah I've been told to check out the SD headers but I'm going to look into all of my options. I know ZZP is good so I'll check them out more too. I think I saw your GP on here and it looks pretty clean!!
Well my GP is in my Signature every time I post. Lol
Here's a little motivation; I'm a junior in college with 3 years left to go, studying automotive engineering and have a new born baby. And my car seems to get quite a bit of attention. If there's a will there's a way. Lol
I do hear ya on Priorities though and saving up. Now with the new born, I put a little money aside every paycheck to save for my next big purchase. Before the baby, I'd just dump money into this car.
Oh well I'm using my phone for this thread and it must not show everything! Ha.
Wow. Looks like you've got a lot on your plate. Like you said, "If there's a will there's a way". I just have to get on it! It will help out a lot once I sell my other Grand Prix. I'll probably get headers then. I can't think of anything I'd want to go with after the headers without having to go with a smaller pulley and supporting mods. What all has been done to yours?
Hey were ya been?? We talked for a bit then you vanished forever!! Lol
What's done to my car?
Just read my Sig. Right above the picture of my car tells my engine/trans mods.
