Anybody interested in improving the power of your N/A Z should jump all over this GB. $230 for headers. KILLER deal.

Yes thats a killer deal but what about install? Is it true you have to remove the engine or at least jack it up out of the mounts to install the headers? Or am I just confused?

It's a PITA but you don't have to take the engine out or dismount it.

If you would like to lose hp then get the Borla's. Do a search and do a little research. BTW these "unknowns" are basically DC Sport replica's and have dynoed 10hp &15 ft/lbs torque. To save you a little time the Borla's have dynoed to lose hp.

Yep, stay away from Borlas. They dont gain anything. These headers are awesome looking. They are identical to the DC headers and looking strikingly like the Nismoa is Im not mistaken.

Oh yeah, I bought them too!!

my experience with Borla is a bit different than what you guys are reporting, I actually gain 8hp and 14 ft/lb... These gains were over and above the gains I received from the Borla exhaust...

What would be an average price to have this installed? No way I'm going to do that myself.

ouch, it's $300 here if I decide not to do it myself. At least they give you a dyno run for $475.

I am gonna get some Crawford HF cats around January and see if Crawford Z will install them at the same time as the headers. I just hope they don't give me the stink eye when I tell them I have the TopSpeeds instead of their headers Doug, Vandy, Phoenix...no offense. I've shallow pockets right now dude!
