ok guys im thinking about doing some new headers. I all ready have a new cat and new exhaust and a intake with my programer what do you guys think, are the worth it? i was thinking about the summit racing ones for like $149.99

good next step... also a 50/52mm TB would be another good step.

 

You might want to rethink the Summit headers. They're made for them by Pace Setter and aren't normally worth the money....bad weld jobs, leaks, etc. You'd be better off getting a set of Gibson or JBA's...IMHO :-)

 

I am running a set of the Pacesetter headers and have had no problems as of yet. If you order them look them over very closely for weld issues. Cover the collector end with tape and in a dark room shine a pocket flashlight down each tube. Check very closely for light leaks. If you can see any send them back. I did this and found no issues with the set and the outside welds looked good so I mounted them. Also I wrapped them before putting them on to reduce under the hood temperatures. Sound really good.

I've got a second set that leaks worse than the first set if you want them. I'm glad to hear that someone had a good set though. The question is "DO YOU FEEL LUCKY"....

 

Based on all of the threads I have been going through, I have decided to pony up the extra cash and get a set of Gibsons. They sound like a solid buy.

 

What about the ebay specials? I'd wrap mine so I don't care if they are coated or anything.

 

wicked smart

you might want to rethink that wrapping of the headers.. especially if you live in a climate with any moisture what so ever. you usually see headers wrapped on serious racing applications.. no daily drivers.. the wrapping likes to hold in moisture.. and regardless of the finish of the headers.. everyone knows what happens to metal with a little heat and some moisture..

 

im satisfied with the performance and sound from my exhaust... but after only 2 years my ceramic gibsons have some rust on them already.

 

I am not worried about rust, I'd like to wrap them just to lower under hood temps is all.
