Default Got my headers

I know I was telling Jon about the headers that I ordered the other day at the track. Anyways, I got stainless steel headers off of Ebay for $299! Here's a few pictures of them.

From what I've been told, they're real similar to stainless works headers. I'm waiting on my catback exhaust, gaskets, and cats before I install these.

I think its going to be crazy loud with the catback I ordered:

The only reason I'm using cats is for the extra bit of sound dampening. And I guess it will keep me legal.

I'm going to have to agree with you.

It'll be interesting to hear! You got to get a base line run BEFORE you put any mods on it. Have you dyno'd or ran it at the track yet?

No, I haven't dynoed or ran it at the track. I don't think I'm going to either. I just don't want to have my parts sitting in the garage just so I can get a baseline. It would be interesting though.

I agree, go run it down the quarter a couple times to get a baseline. It's not like you have a long trip to the track.

I started out @ 13.40's with just a lid. Now with minimal mods I'm at 12.80's. It's a good reference point. Dyno numbers can help, but I see the Dyno as a tuning device.
