" - about there headers ,but Holy **** that seems like alot >???

Headers will usually get you between 20-30Hp.

SLP 41HP= and they hang way to low, stay away!

What are you looking to spend? Prices range from around $400 for a set of budget coated headers to $800 for a set of Stainless Steel headers. Personnaly I'm looking for Top notch quality, fit and performance. I'll be ordering a set of QTP's in May.

Cheap Performance/Good quality = Pacesetters
Mid range/proven performance = JetHot, Hooker
Top Quality/Fit = QTP, Kooks (Stainless Steel)
