RE: Headers
since your mostly stock i would go with 1 5/8 shorites. now if you start to get heavy into mods i would go long tubes but you still can get decent power with shorties. now make sure you get a good set not some el cheapos just so they dont break or warp. chrome looks good at first but will turn colors then rust. coated is best but not always needed. no coated will rust right away but they are still headers and are better then the stockers

RE: Headers
ok, when i bought my car prolly 2 months ago the kid said it had differnet headers on it, i didnt really care to much, cause it has exhaust and still sounds good, i dont think that the headers are aftermarket, when i get my car back from the shop (oil leak) i will post a pic and have you guys tell me what u think.

Yeah, thats my car except it now has tinted rear windows, and stock tail lights instead of that euro crap, the only complaint i have since i bought it is that it leaks oil and the shop wants around 500 to fix it. I dono what kind of header to get give me some input on what you all think.

RE: Headers
Well i had the shop just look over the whole car, after i bought it so i knew everything was find from a professional, because i am only 15, work 2 jobs, and dont know everything about cars. So they looked at it and changed the tranny fluid, flushed it, and changed filter, and then they said i have an oil leak, i said ok no biggy i will fix that wit my dad. They said it was the oil pan gasket, so i get home look in my haynes manual and find out that it is a real pain to do, so i call them up and ask them how much for them to do it the guy says around 300. I said ok let me think about it becuase it is not that big of leak. Get it home and a couple weeks later it looks like there is also tranny fluid on my drive way so i take it back to them becuase if it is there fault they will fix it for free. So i get it there they say ther eis to tranny fluid leaking, i said ok what ever and was just gonna pay the 300 for them to fix oil pan gasket when it was in there, and they guy says oh it is not the oil pan gasket it is the rear main seal, i said ok how much for that the guy says around 500... What do i do now??? is this something me and my dad can do or do i pay them to do it?
