spoken like a true dealer! With the car that you're running (B18 all motor drag car) headers are essential to the performance of your car. But that is about the ONLY circumstance where I can see spending $300+ for this part. 2-8HP for this kind of money is laughable in my opinion. And unless you are planning on seriousely building an ALL OUT ALL-MOTOR drag car...you will never see the results of the install. If you're someone who is not going to spend more than $4000 building a real engine....or you are ever going to consider going forced induction with your car....ask yourself, is it really worth it?

If you ever plan on going forced induction, this mod is a waste of money. Like others have said, expect to see about an 8hp gain. If you plan adding cams, cam gears, working the head, or stroking the engine than I say for it. If most of that is unlikely, there are better places to spend your money than headers. Just my opinion.
Oh, and also, the best way to go about it is to purchased stainless steel headers and HAVE them ceramic coated. All the strength of the allmighty SS header, with the pristine finish of a ceramic coating! http://www.jet-hot.com does ceramic coating of headers if you want to check it out.

Why waste your money on headers for 8hp more. Save up your money and get a turbo if you want some real power.
