I already have Nismo intake/exhaust.

Now I want to get new headers. I was thinking going with Nismo (I can get them for $1050 shipped), but then many people on this forum fo with crawford...

Doing the math:
- Crawford headers - $1150
- Crawford hi flow cats - $500

Total: 1650+500 install cost = $2150

Will it make noticable difference: just Nismo headers vs Crawford set...

 

I've heard that headers are a weak link for power gains. Might wantr to do a bit more research if you are going to spend that much money.

 

Boy oh boy do you have some expensive tastes.

 

$2150..you are half way for a supercharge. Save up a bit more and have your car F/I.

 

Good point.

 

I know it is a lot of money... that will make me almost half way with a SC.

The only thing that worries me is the reliability issue/maintance cost with FI cars. I used to have a turbo'd car - and it is a lot of $$$ to maintain it. Things tend to break more often + you will not be fully happy with the install unless you invest big $$$. People dont realize how big the total cost for going FI is....

EDIT: there is no compromise when you go FI.

 

the reliability issue/maintance cost for SC is less than Turbo. isn't it? If i could start all over again, i would use the money i spent on my wheel toward Vortech or TN.

 

man i got a set of dc ss headers and kinetix high flow cats for $500 TOTAL off of this board. i know theyre not crawfords, but consider it, because $2150 is a lot to spend for those kind of gains.

 

The quality of the items that you selected is excellent. If they are within your budget, go for it.

 

Do it. you cant go wrong with crawford products

 

as far as i know yes. sc are more reliable - but they will never give you gains like turbo => less power but also less problems

I was thinking about Vortech - but everything adds up:
- $5k for the kit
- $1k for install
- $1k other (gauges and so on)

So I am looking at +/- $7k...

 

SC are not more reliable.

for a TT setup, you are looking for 12K bucks for a complete setup including install, gauges, and exhaust.

A ST will run you about 8500 including install, exhaust and gauges
