  • anyone have worthwhile gains w/ headers?

    if so, what brand? i've heard that w/ the 3.8L, headers don't give more than 5-10 rwhp, and for the money, are not really worth it... again, just curious... i'm thinkin long term
    thanks!

    I had high hopes going into my headers project (I put on CIAs, you can check my website for more info. on my full setup...), but after having done it, I can tell you that it's really not worth the money for the gain you get, and especially not worth the pain in the butt install. Only reason to go with them is really if you have NOS, blower, etc... I'd recommend spending the money on LSD, gears, aluminum DS, etc... (Guess what I'm going to be saving up for? ;) )

    Hope that helps you.

        You mean the headers? Hehe... I consider the harrowing experience a "war scar." ;) But on the upside, I can change my plugs and wires in no time. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
