Headers Worth The Money? (Need HP Gains, ET Drops)
If everyone could tell me what type of headers they have, and if they dynoed before and after the header install, what numbers did you see from the headers, and also, before and after ETs and MPHs as well. I'm looking hard at headers and want some long tubes, but don't want to spend a fortune on them (college student barely scraping by). I'm looking as low as Pacesetters and as high as probably Kooks. I'd REALLY love some Kooks but I don't know if I can justify the cost what with having to get a y-pipe, cats, etc. Also post sound clips if you have them (lets keep the sound clips to stock heads, stock cam cars). Thanks fellas.

no dyno numbers but there was a definate increase in hp, especially on the top end.
clip is before cam (idle), then after cam (idle). i only took idle clips because my car is running fucked up as is and i dont want to put unwarrented stress on it until i can start pulling it apart again.

Re: Headers Worth The Money? (Need HP Gains, ET Drops)
I just finished an install for QTP headers . . . these are very nice; fit perfect, tuck up close, and easy install. I saved money by ordering only the off-road headers, nothing else, then modified my SLP Y-pipe to fit them. I also fabricated my own off-road pipes with help from a local muffler shop. I saved still more my making my own O2 extensions, and turning off the rear O2s with LS1edit rather than buying O2 sims. I also reused the stock manifold bolts instead of buying the fancy locking, stainless steel bolts.
