You all think headers are worth the trouble?? Anyone know where I can one for a GT? What kinda gains should I expect? Will I be able to FEEL the difference??

It will be tough to get the Hotshot Header for less than $320 shipped. Try Titan Motorsports and ask for Bottle.

Yep, go with proven names when it comes to performance parts. You'll thank yourself later.

headers take engineering and good quality control or they will actually lose power - I would steer clear of generic ebay ones!

put it this way you can get the dc for bout 270+ shipping at option auto plus they are smog legal unlike hotshot headers. dc claims 10-14 hp so prolly like4 at the wheels butmore if it is combined with intake and exhaust hope that helps!

I agree totally, when dealing with your expensive engine...that the 'generic' header could destroy...I would rather spend the extra hundred or two...then a couple thousand for a new engine. That would make me sick to my stomach if that happened, and i could have saved a couple thousand dollars if I would have just paid a few hundred more for a decent headers.

I might go with the E-bay ones...just to see. I got an E-bay intake and it rocks..I like it better than the INJEN one that I had. I noticed better gains. Plus all the DC headers are out of stock. thumbsup

I would've stuck with Injen since it's CARB exempt. I don't think the eBay ones are CARB legal.

actually if it adds 10 to 14 at the crank it will add 10 to 14 at the wheels ...180 stock = 164whp, 190 stock=174whp. thumbsup but i may be wrong...anybody?
