headers now or save for alum DS first?
i have a chance to get some headers for my V6 (SS JBA shorties OR SS Pypes) in about a month or so and i was contemplating on what i should get first; Headers or DS. i'm interested in the 3.5" DS from shaftmasters but it isalmost a few hundred bucks more than the SS shorty headers and i will need to wait much longer to gather the funds for it. I WILL have both eventually and I am quite aware that the performance boost from either is not significant although it does exist. i want headers mainly for sound and the DS mainly for drive quality. the extra power from either is just a bonus. I usually figure out what i want for my car on my own but this choice has been a tough one.
FEEDBACK ENCOURAGED .....thanks.

if it were between l/t headers and driveshaft, i would say headers first...due to the shorty's having lower performance gains that l/t's, i would say go D/S first...or save up and get the L/T's
just my .02

Yep, long tubes and California just don't mix......
I don't have the driveshaft yet, some day, but I love the JBA shortys on my GT. You may want to consider a ceramic coated finish, however, as I have heard some horror stories about SS discoloring pretty bad. And, the ceramic coating helps disipate the engine heat as well.....

Does the DS really make that much of a difference? Seems like a lot of money for just a DS, but if it works I may consider this too. Looking forward to more info on this...

my only concern is going dynotech through brenspeed or spydershaft (which is $200 cheaper)...thats why i'm waiting till this weekend to order so i can get some more feedback
