hopefully not a stupid question..

- Sat Jul 28, 2012 1:02 am #312157 How practical are a set of headers? I dont know all too much about engine stuff, and alot of people tell me "you really should get some headers". My apologies if this question has wasted your time, but i just need to know if it would be worth it on my car?

I have a stock D15B7.

Thanks guys,
Nick

But yes a header will help.

Thanks again!

- Sat Jul 28, 2012 6:58 pm #312192 All headers are going to do just the same amount, now the real difference comes into the length and fitment of them, ebay is cheap and some fit some don't have had and installed dozens over the years on my cars and friends and customers cars, and some times they mate up really nice and other times not so much.

blk95coupe on here has a 4dr with a b7 with a 99 ex header and it looks like and aftermarket and performs the same way.

There are not going to be noticeable performance gains between a cheap header and one that is expensive. The expensive ones are going to be actual stainless steel over steel that is coated in stainless. And yes there is a big difference, in noise and pitch the car will make with actual stainless over coated. Same goes for exhaust systems.

But piping is piping and if you live some place where it snows or gets ices a lot then you get something that can be replaced for cheap cause the new stuff they drop will eat thru anything now.
