So i got the flowmaster catback, and just picked up an x-pipe from Pypes. So i figured id go all out and get better headers. I think i remember reading that long tubes are the ones that increase performance, and shortys are kinda just like replacing stocks. So which headers would you suggest getting? (Brands and all) . IM not trying to spend more then 275 on headers, unless there are ones out there for more which are the 'aboslute must haves'.

Edit: This is the x-pipe i ordered, if that makes any difference. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...669&rd=1,1

I havnt put it on yet.

 

I believe Mac makes the only LT headers for the v6... I'm not entirely sure though.

 

only the shorties will work wit that x pipe

 

In that case is it even worth getting them? Its either headers or il save up an extra week and get a tuner chip

 

The stock headers are flowing just fine with the power you're putting out. Unless you have F/I, you don't need headers. And now you have to get shorties unless you get a new midpipe, cause LT's won't work with that midpipe.

Also, MAC is the only brand that makes LT's for the V6. I warn you, though. Header installation is a pain in the ***, and unless you're doing it yourself, the instalation will cost more than the headers. Not sure about the V6, but putting LTs on the 4.6 is a 13 hour job.

 

why the hell does it take that long?

 

There's a real lot of stuff in the way. Steering column, starter, k member, etc...
