hell yea its worth it. if you end up selling the car you can always take em off and put em on the next car (assuming you buy another Fbody.) we just started selling American Racing Headers and they are a VERY nice header, give us a call if you decide to do it. 585-865-1832

How long are you planning on keeping your car though. You kind of made it sound like you're looking to get a lower mileage car. If that's the case, I would wait until you get another car.
