Are these headers any good? What kind of power should I pick up on a car with a chip and exhaust? Anyone?

Joe Weinstein

With just a chip and exhaust, save your money. The stock headers are *very* good. If you get
into the hybrid turbo scene you may end up needing new headers, but not yet by a long shot.
Scargo stuff *is* well made though.

Do you think they'd be worth $600 to me?? I accidently won some on Ebay.

BG

You will actually lose power if you add headers without re-tuning the ECU. A complete waste of money if your not making any computer changes.

BG is right... don't just slap headers on without being tuned for them. I don't know whether the ones you bought were long tube or shorties?? Makes a difference...

You cannot beat the factory headers.. But you can lose 40-60HP with larger headers.

Kevin

Alex, just for "old times" replace your picture with the one at the shootout with the lost 10's.. The one with the front end up in the air...

sharkster

That one was funny.. Almost funny car style I will find that at home tonight....

BigCarrot

Well, I was the "second chance bidder", so I think I'll pass on them. I also got offered a set of carbon rotors for $3k, but I think I'm passing on those too.

Sharkey,
how about a pic of your car in action after you suggested turning off the ABS (in
the shootout)
