Yes, I know it may not be worth it, but any gain is better than no gain, and long tubes are illegal. And I just want a full setup!

Fast intentions will make you a catback with HFCs in it so you can run their long tubes and still be legal. That's a far better hp/$ ratio for the same install cost.

Already have a borla catback, I'm under aged, my mom restricts me on things I can do , she said I can do headers and high flow cats as long as my setup is legal, and she won't let me do weight restriction things.

What ? Shorty headers and hi flow cats? If that's what you're talking about it's not. Already checked with local pd and the states regulations.

Nope. He's right. It's illegal to take off working cats. It's a federal law. Is it ever enforced? No. But it's not legal.

Wow. Then go spend your money on headers that will cost a fortune to install and will make zero power. We've explained it to you over and over. I guess the only thing that will convince you is being out a lot of money and a dyno sheet showing no gains.

Then why not wait until you're older and can make your own decisions rather then buying POS headers that are worse than stock because it's all you're allowed to do?

Is your mom aware that spending your money on the Stillen headers are a waste of money? If shorty headers are what you are looking for wait a little more time and buy the Z1's. You had mentioned that it worries you having to add 350Z HFC's however many have done it. Check out the massively long thread on it.

I think it's worse to spend money on crappy headers that may be less in price but provide very little performance gains then spending your money on headers that may be a little more expensive but at least will make a difference on your car and would totally be worth the installation costs as well. I would try telling that to your mom.

Take your time and do it right. Don't throw your money away which would be buying the crappy headers.
