Do you plan on doing FI? If not, it's not really worth it. You could get some gears installed instead

I have the JBA SS headers andi love em... they sound sweet.As far asmoney tho, i'd prob get a tuner. Diablo sport, or an SCT. Tuner's will do way more than headers,(both would be best! lol)Check out www.rpmoutlet.comthey have good prices. As far as instilation, idk. They're not hard to do yourself if you do it when they're warm, it helps the bolts break loose easier.JBA headers come with good instructions too. Email me with any questions i just put mine on.GoodLuck!

I asked Midas to install my JBA shorties for me and they will charge me $220 for it. I decided to do the install ( since they can't do it that weekend ) myself even with my limited mechanical skills and save myself $220 bucks! The only hard part is torqueing it because of the tight space and tightening up the GSR for 30 mins. Other than that it is real easy...just plain nuts and bolts!

I would recommend buying an aftermarket gasket from Autozone.

With my C&L intake and tune from AA, throttle body spacer and JBA shorties, I'm very happy with it. I wish I can replace my throttle body too!

I'm going for an Xcharger and will try to do the install myself too!
