SEARCH AND READ THE STICKIES. The stickies are at the top of this thread, and even teach you how to use the search button.


Everyone is using all kinds of different headers. They all produce essentially equal power, unless you get something like QTP HVMC.

Budget: Coated Pacesetters.
The bes: QTP/Kooks in stainless steel.

There really should be an Exhaust sub-forum to the engine external...It woud be like herding up the sheep (header,catback,cutout and TD threads).

Just an idea,I'm sure its been given thought before.
