Default Thinking about my first real mod

And was really looking at these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99...mZ160252455445

Hell of a deal even if my friend and I would have to come up with the rest of the exhaust.


After my first and only time out with time in sig I changed the thermostat, opened up the hood openings and took my TB off today for porting tomorrow.

So now most of the free/cheap/easy stuff is done. I want to eventually hit high 11's with it. I see a set of Stage 3 heads, these headers, a pulley or some exhaust as it.

Opinions on what to spend for next

If you are wanting stainless, why not wait for the new LPP headers. If you are wanting to run 11s someday don't start getting cheap are parts already.

just my .02

Im actually thinking about buying these myself. im not worried about performance anymore. And dont worry about all the haters above, it was the same way when XS headers started getting popular. Everybody dogged them because they came from ebay and just look at how many people are running them problem free. I get paid tommorow so Im probably going to be ordering mine tommorow and if they dont pan out then screw it, it was less than $250 so Ill just cut my losses

It says ceramic coated, but you can request stainless if you would like. I've gone thru that sponser before and they shipped it very quickly for free.
