Hey guys,

Does anyone know if headers make a noticible performance difference and if they make the exaust sound different. also what is a good brand of header.
Thanx.

 

its a about a 10 HP diff and it change the tone a little but it changes more with a o/r h or x pipe

 

If your looking for straight performance and sound, get BBK ceramic long tubes, your best bet. If you got the money JBA's hehe, like 800. But best bang for the buck = BBK LT's or BBK Shorties, I have the shorties, they are GREAT! look awesome too...


Edit - BBK LT's are harder to install than shorties and wont pass emissions.

and they really don't add hp on near stock engines and should not be used on lowered cars

 

I seen that slow engine somewhere before hehe, Tom why wont LT's pass?

 

my car is lowered and i have no prob over speed bumps? yes they do make a noticeable difference if you dont have an exhaust leak

 

damn man, your engine looks too much like mine not the prettiest but nice looking ceramics lol, but, how did you get the dipstick way over there?!

 

B/c you cant use cats or O2's with them, the mid pipe is wayyy too short.

 

No, they make catted short mid-pipes.

THey place the 02 sensors too far from the engine, which causes it to read weird. Also, they will fail visual inspection in most states.

 

ive seen long tubed cars pass emissions
