This forum is all about headers. Which are recommended. How difficult are they to install. Self-install hints. Performance.

First off you shouldnt have bought these POS headers if you already have them. They are known to be the worst for the Z and have shown little to negative gains. Do a search and see. You have to do your homework before buying things like this if you have already bought them.

Sorry, but he's right. Borla Headers show no gains. David Borla and I had a rather heated "E" Mail discussion on this, before he faded away, finally admitting the Borlas really produced no gains. They are not worth the trouble. Installing headers on a "Z" is not an easy job.

I installed my Topspeed headers myself, with assistance from my 14 y.o. stepson. If you like working on cars, it's very fun, interesting, and a little bit of a challenge. Just make sure you have all the tools. If you don't, get them before you do anything else.

Oh yeah, I've also heard that Borlas are not very good.
