Exhaust/Headers do not do much for our cars, for one.

Two, header installation can be a pain in the ass, but shouldn't take more then...5 hours... (just tossing a time out there, i had mine done for me.)

well i find out how much when i get it dyno and also i have a CAI with the exhaust/ headers so i hopping for 230 to 240 just a hope and did u have yours dyno what do u make

SnTBakosFinest 08-08-2008 11:55 PM

You won't be near 230-240...I'd say MAYBE 210... maybe..

I haven't dynoed mine...but with the shot i sit somewhere at a stock to lightly modified 99-04 GT...whatever power those make..

The stock headers on the 3.8 cars are good, Shorty headers will do almost nothing. Longtubes are the way you want to go if anything. Unless you have H/C/I or poweradder headers will not net you much gain.

Yeah if anything get LTs. And dude with your mods you MIGHT make 200-210. Im going to say 200.

I love how so many people say shorty headers are worthless.....LOL LOL LOL.
I wish I had put them on years ago!!!! My manifold cracked so I replaced them with the BBK's. I was surprised to see the poor quality of the engineering of the manifolds. They are ugly and apparently break eventually. Just take a look!!
My car has more torque, it growls now, (especially up hills), the engine bay looks great and my car is more fun to drive!!
I say that it's worth it. I can't put LT headers on anyway, in my county you need CAT's!
Just because it does not give you 20+ HP does not mean it is not worth putting on! I did the job myself...took me three days of wrench turning.....IT WAS WORTH IT!!!![/quote]
