Default headers

as soon as i get my gears put in, im startin to upgrade other things, figured headers and x-pipe would be a good idea. what are the best brand, or at least best bang for the buck. and shorty, long tube, etc... i need all info i can get, i dont know a lot about them. my car is all stock except for the 3.73s goin in it in a week or so

Well if you plan on getting headers, get shorttubes, unless you plan on getting a head, cam, intake setup then go with longtubes. Shorttubes don't give all that much though like 5rwhp, i would say 8 max.

I would say when your car is making around 300rwhp longtubes are good. I have them on my car, I think they made a decent difference.

i went with shorties and a catless h-pipe

noticable difference in the throttle and power at lower rpm's

definitely get a catless mid pipe if u can. they are what give u the power. headers just let the engine breathe like it should
