No headers, if you are actually getting an aps extreme go with the aps exhauset 2.5" or 3.0" And spend a some time in the FI section to learn your stuff it is rather complex.

I agree with jonb7007, except for the ECU part. I say go for a reflash, they work well and can help you in other areas than just power.

Well, there ya go OP someone agrees with me.. But Id have to disagree with you Fluid1 on the reflash because that cash could easily buy him a UTEC now since they are so cheap.. UTEC would benefit him at any power level.. just about.. I have had exp with "reflash" and it didnt tickle me at all.......

I agree with the others, don't bother with headers because you will be replacing those with turbo manifolds if you put twins on the car. The APS extreme is a great kit - nothing bad to say there.

Also, I would not bother with the Intake or ECU Reflash if you are going turbo in the future. The intake would be replaced with the turbo intakes, and you will be better off with engine management that allows more adjustability than a reflash.

Being a noob, maybe some more research is necessary before you jump into the FI arena.

Don't forget with that many mods the dealership/Nissan will most likely not cover your engine when/if it dies like this guy: https://my350z.com/forum/showpost.ph...2&postcount=60

Being a noob you may just want to research it for a while, let others who have the experience teach us what works and what don't.
