I can't find anything other than these

Are they okay?

I do plan on putting in an intercooled Vortech this winter

I agree with tanner, I don't know much about headers at all- but appearance wise, you can get some sequential tail-lights for $140, and with the leftover, a nice steak dinner for the gf. Boom, win-win for all parties involved. And the looks you get in the rear-view are priceless lol.

Or if you already have those, maybe a nice set of tires (may run over 200 now that I think about it). They really help, and if you don't already have some anti-roll bars, those help IMMENSELY with the sloppy corners.

I got my sequentials for 70... Wow.

And my tires are brand new so... Idk. That rear end is tempting.

Save it. There's nothing performance wise what will add/free up noticeable hp for $200.

You could always do suspension, as there's some good options in your price range. LCAs, springs, sway bars etc

LCA's?

EDIT: I just tested my Bama tune and I'm going with the LT headers

They'll be a worthwhile mod if you plan on installing an 8.8 or adding any significant mods to the car
