I did mine because I KNEW I was going to heads/cam on the car soon. That way I only bought them once. There is always a better/cheaper/quicker/smarter way to do anything when it comes to modding a car, but I think what the OP here is saying is that if you plan ahead with parts choices it can pay off. You know..."plan your work, work your plan" kind of thing.

Nice gains!
I got almost the exact same results when I went from a set of 6 year old Hooker 1 3/4's with their y-pipe.....to a set of 1 7/8's ARH with their y-pipe. WOW! what a differnce I can feel under the curve too. Just runs out so much smoother from a dead stop, and cruising part throttle. I love the ARH headers I went with, eventhough I had some unusual fitment issues that no one else says they had.

Nice. I really wish I knew about these when I put Pacesetters on my car 2 years ago.. Were they even out in Spring of 09? I think I will be upgrading to these sometime this summer/fall after some ported 243s and a different custom cam.

These headers seem to be nice, too bad they're not SS. I have Grotyohann's 1.75" headers from 1999 and they're pretty rusted . I want to replaced them but I don't want ones that'll need replaced again either. Do you think a re-tune would be needed to go from 1 3/4" headers to 1 7/8" headers, both with no converters?
