RE: Headers
Yeah I would have put headers on mine but as far as I know they don't make headers for the 3.7L... and as far as being a waste of money under 3000 rpms... it couldn't possibly hurt ur performance can it... I mean you just wouldn't see any gains or losses under 3000 rpms... right??

RE: Headers
I was just reading the latest edition of 4 wheel and off road magazine and they did a story on products to help get better gas mileage and performance and 3things they recomend are headers, throttle body, and electric fan along with other stuff. So I think headers will not hurt anything. I allows the engine to get rid of exhaust gases more efficently.

RE: Headers
I'm more concerned with improving low rpm power(torque) for towing a 6,000 trailer. The ceramic coated headers are $750 so if they won't do me any/much good, I'd rather spend the $$$ on something else. I'm specifically considering ceramic coated because of the reduced under-hood temp since ceramic coating causes more of the heat to go out the pipe instead of thru it, into the engine compartment.

I may just hold off on the whole exhaust thing until I get headers....

RE: Headers
You can increase your HP and torque in high rpms with headers or in low rpms but not both to my knowledge. Here's a tidbit of info from the Intake/Headers/Exhaust section:

long tube headers give peak power at a high rpb, while short tube give at a lower rpm. It all depends on how you're gonna be driving. Racing, a higher rpm so long tubes.....towing and regular street driving will benefit from a shortie header.
