Headers? to add or not to add
 
I'm thinking about adding some AMS 370Z stainless headers.

I already have test pipes, exhaust, intake and tuned and I love my car the way it is now. :icon17:,

But could use a little bit more power :icon18:

What's your thoughts?

headers aren't a bad idea but not those.

Team_STILLEN 06-10-2014 03:05 PM

The headers with your other mods will yield some results after another tune.

I have same mods and thinking the same thing. Even if it's 10 hp I still want them because my car will feel complete. Stopping me is the labor

ppe, z1, or FI headers, you're going to spend 500-1000 to get them put on might as well get something that makes real power. Dont mess with the other short headers I had stillens and picked up 1 hp which might have just been the oil heating up lol.

I want some more power without breaking the bank.

Looking at a couple other things

50 shot nitrous is cheaper than headers and install price. I added headers to my full bolt on, mean WOT sound with z1 headers but netted +4 hp (after tune). My opinion anything better than headers if you've already got most bolt-ons. 4.08 gears much more worth it also

I wouldn't do it. Install cost doesn't make it worth it.

Yeah headers are like a last thing next to exhaust cams. they will get you power but if there is other stuff to do do it first. The 4.08 gears won't add power but will make the car quicker

Header installation is making me sa forget it! But boy I want the sound!

If you could do Long tube headers I think that would add some real power :)

Do what I did, wait around for someone anxious to sell their headers; I got some for $300 ish. Find a competent friend to help with HFC install and show with the headers and say "hey lookie here what came in the box, let's see what they sound like."'

It might cost you some beer, but not $800 in beer.

Really glad I wasn't that friend

it is a good question what other bolt on will deliver more power, after you have a cai, exhaust, and test pipes. i thought about getting some header was well, but if it's going to give me 4hp, it's definitely not worth the $700+ then
