in my honest opinion, dont get teh CIA headers..not worth that mad cash for only a few hp gains and torque gains


your better off getting the new pacesetter headers coming out for the 3.8's.. only like..180 for the set.

Agree.

I heard from another post that pacesetter told somebody else(cant remember) that it will be about 90 days before they are released.

$180 for the painted. Headers (really my honest opinion) aren't worth buying for our cars uncoated. If you're going to spend the money for headers, spend a little extra and GET CERAMIC COATING.

But after all things are said and done, I personally don't think headers are worth the trouble and money, period. (Unless you need them for NOS or blower. But not for NA.)

or instead of ceramic coating, get kevlar exhaust sleeves/wrap. they keep the heat in the pipes really well.

and also run the risk of catching fire from what I hear. (Wasn't that 12sec?)

If you don't feel that the manifolds are enough, you can always get them ported for a little extra flow. (referring to the '00+ manifolds)
