Also; I'd like to mention that even though headers flow much better than stock manifolds,
They 1) drasticly increase engine compartment heat which wears out ignition wires and other things, 2) are a pain in the ass to install, 3) don't last very long because they rust and warp. If you're building a "race" motor for the car, headers are a MUST--otherwise, stick with the stockers...
: I'm running a full custom dual exhaust with turbo mufflers and a cross-pipe. It uses the stock exhaust manifolds and it sounds excellent but more importantly; it flows well so the engine can "breathe" and make good power...
