Re: headers on a N/A?

i have also been wondering about how well throttle body spacers work, if they actually do.

They dont. ANd stay far far away from OBX. Their quality is junk.

Re: headers on a N/A?

I can't testify on any other products for OBX, but I can assure you every1 i've ever met with the OBX headers says the same thing, it was a compete waste of money, i should've gotten the 3sx ones.

Re: headers on a N/A?

I have never used anything OBX, but I hear that they have terrible quality from my friends who have.

I'd spend my money elsewhere, honestly. For an NA motor that's stock with basic, non-internal upgrades (intake, exhaust, etc), headers will net you close to no power gains, for all practical purposes. They will certainly help beef up your exhaust note, but the same money spend on a decent exhaust will do the same thing. I had a custom cat-back with dual chrome tips mendrel bent, $400 out the door, and it sounds really sweet. Oh, and unless you plan to install the headers yourself, youre looking at some pretty heavy labor costs too.

Re: headers on a N/A?

yea, i had heard in the past that theres not much difference in flow between stock manifolds and aftermarket headers....im wanting to get them mainly for sound deepness; i plan to run aftermarket headers, hi-flow cat, 2.5in pipe allway through and dual flowmaster 40 series mufflers.......i want it to sound like its got alot of balls!

Re: headers on a N/A?

would an aftermarket downpipe be best to get, or should i go full headers?

Re: headers on a N/A?

well obviously downpipe would be much easier to install then headers..i had to add extra bungs and customize a few things to make fit..downpipe is just like 6 bolts off bolts up and its done! so if your lookin for an easier job then go with downpipe but headers is the true way to go..in my opinion
