Re: headers

headers are headers you wont see any gaping performance from one to the other, they are a good mod tho, will really free up the exhaust and also help the tone of the exhaust.

Re: headers

it depends on what kind of engine you have the 3.4 engine will get a decent hp increase maybe alittle more than 10 - 15 HP. But the 3.8 engines already come with tubular manifolds so you'll only get like a 5 - 10 HP increase if that, so not the best upgrade for the money on a 3.8. but headers will deepen the sound on either engine. Just make sure you do it right and watch for exhaust leaks!

Re: headers

exhaust leaks are common with the headers, do not over tighten them or they will warp. and use good gaskets.

only 2000+ came with tubular mani's

and 10-15 rwhp for teh 3.4 is definetly not refering to RWHP, maybe at the crank that much.

i think texas-speed was the cheapest last I checked for pacesetters

i've had my pacesetters for over 2 years now and the only problem that i've had was my egr started to leak a few months ago. which was fine for me cause i just wanted to block it off anyway. spend a few buck and order the block off plates from zzp.

or you can use some copper RTV and a penny...

Re: headers

i have the clear image automotive headers, and my egr is disconnected, and have a zzp block off plate.
