Hey guys,
Im looking into getting headers soon, What is a set of ceramic coated headers for a tight budget? And also, with headers, will i need to get my car tuned for any reason??

Thanks

hey man....just to save jrp the post....not to be a dick or anything....but
USE THE ******* SEARCH BUTTON.


now to answer your question.....pacesetters. when you search(cuz i know you will, right?) you'll find they are redesigned, fit great, are pretty inexpensive, have a great coating, and make pretty much the same hp as every other $800 set of headers. they're like $359 from TSP. or find them at half a dozen different sponsers also to your right --->

Ok, for one I used the search button like I always do FIRST.. Didnt find the answer I was looking for, then decided I'd post here. Got a super FUNNY remark, and still didn't get the answer i was mainly looking for. NOw, Does anyone want to answer my question? I want to know if I am going to need a tune after installing my headers?

To answer your tuning question, you don't need a tune after the install unless you eliminate you AIR system (to remove the SES code, unless you can live with the SES code). But you probably will run a little rich so you could get a tune to lean your car out a little and get some extra hp. But tuning is not necessary with just a header install.

for starters.

No you won't need tuning. I'm serious that the search button works. These answers are all out there. Just have to look.
