The gain would be minimal on manifolds, but a great way to change the sound!

Check your warranty some companies will void only the warranty on exhaust components, or look into having a dealership install the headers, may pay more but could possibly keep your warranty.

i already talked to the warranty company, they said "headers will destroy your engine" and "we will not cover an engine if it has headers". so no headers any one know where i can get an ory pipe for manifolds?

BTW, hold off on the Y-pipe until you're ready to mod. Not worth doing it now.

Well, in that case, an ORY will free up the cat's restriction. Your rear O2's will either need to be deleted, or you can run some rear O2 sims to see if they work for ya.

First off, what are headers going to 'destroy'? Second what kind of warranty do you have? The car is already 5 years old, isn't it? What can possibly go wrong that hasn't already? Headers, Y-pipe, do'm both...won't hurt anything but the increased performance. Headers will destroy the engine Stupid bastard that said that probably drives a Neon...
