Default what kind of headers should i get?

i wanna spend no more then 500 bucks on a set of headers. i wanna keep the stock cats and i want it to pass emissions. i want long tubes and i wanna gain as much power as possible. What should i get and how much horsepower will i gain considering i only have a lid/exhaust.

All that for under 500 isn't realistic. I would say for max power go for a set of LTs...but then u need custom work to have ur stock cats welded in.

The other option would be to get a catted Y pipe..but those alone cost $400.

My advice is avoid anything other than stainless steel..save ur money and go for something good.

Personally I have American Racing Headers with a 3" ORY and i couldnt be more satisfied. Others would say ARH or Kooks as the two best stainless steel headers. I did some research and chose ARH, they're just better in every aspect.


g'luck in ur research.
