do your research and make your own decisions otherwise your car becomes not-your car.
IMO headers are a waste of money. no performance increase. just makes you louder.

right i understand that so what headers do u reccomend i use i just dont wanna do s**t out of order and end up messing up that engine
really? Headers increase 1 to 2 HP but still its a "performance increase" no matter what way you look at it.
ebay headers are decent for the price. Not bad, and give the same gains that a DC sports header would.
If you want to give it more go, then look into MPFI conversions, or talk to a local shop about it and or a motor swap if you dont feel up to doing it.
this maan knows what he's talking about... the first thing i'd do is the ebay headers then the mpfi then find a z6 head and a y8 head gasket... but thats me... if i had money.. i just found a b18 that i'm gettin for free so i'm swappin...
and that is your next option...
thanks. but where do i find these parts ive looked around on the internet but im getting abunch of crap ive ordered the ebay headers but as far as the mpfi and z6 head and y8 hesd gasket no luck finding any of it????
If you want to some go for what you have now you need to take the following steps,
1. MPFI swap
2. True cold air intake
3. Ebay header
4. Straight pipe from header
5. y8 head swap with a y8 head gasket
6. Upgrade fuel pump
7. Larger fuel injectors
8. Good tune
But if you didn't buy all of the listed above, you would have saved up all of the money you needed to buy another engine to swap.
