New headers exhaust system
Please have a look at those pictures and let me know what you guys think. I have a dealership / garage in town and my mechanic happen to have some bbk short headers that he took off a mustang a while ago. He said he can put them on for me for $450 including labor. You guys think i am getting a good deal?

Installing those headers are pain in the @ss.. $450 includes parts and x-pipe is a steal(well, depends on the condition of the parts. It doesn't look bad in pix.)

Yeah that's probably a good deal. Just a heads up - don't expect much in the way of power gains from the shorties, they are more of a sound improvement. If you want power, spend the money for a set of long tubes.

While I will agree with you on the shorties not gaining as much as the long tubes, I personally noticed a difference. Now...since you are also installing that x pipe with cat delete you will notice a huge difference in sound and performance.

Header installs are a huge PITA and plenty of shops will charge $450 or more just for the install. If your getting the parts and labor for that price its a good deal. They wont give you the increase of what longtubes will do but the tone will improve for sure. Its a coin toss really.
