56 bucks. Give it a shot if you don't mind doing the install twice. Do a before and after dyno. If they never crack, you saved a butt load, if they blow into a million pieces on start up, well you only lost 56 bucks.

Craftsman or Snap-on should create a 3 joint socket extention just for the header install in a 350z

has anyone here done their own headers install? I'm curious about the difficultly. Obviously I'm not buying the ebay ones. And also I don't really want my car any louder. Do headers have to mean louder exhaust note?

Put it like this, I took my Alphawerks headers off to bring my Z back to stock to get a new motor and I sold them because that's one thing I'll never do again.
