yea but why by somethin now that you will just chagne out later, and who says aftermarket headers are not good, sure the stock headers flow good STOCK when you start upgrading things you will need the exhaust to flow easily

when u significantly increase intake flow/volume u need to increase exhaust flow to match because there will be more exhaust to get rid of. simple concept.

If you read my post I never said that aftermarket ones arent good. And like I said, if you are goin to drastically increase power, you will need new ones. But unless you are going to do something like a supercharger, you dont need new ones.

prolly $150 is good guess.

and yes, headers are good for flow... no ones arrguing they arnt. but they're not worth the cost to put on a stock engine with just a mid-pipe and magnaflows...but here is a link to a badass clip of what you may sound like if you get headers:

hope this helps
