anything else?

None. . .

you won't gain power with those. . .and if you're only getting those it isn't worth the cost. . .if you're going to get headers get Crawford equal lengths and high flow cats/test pipes/exhaust to see some gains. . .

money spent smarter on a MD spacer, k&n filter, hfc, tires, tune and an oil change. . .

I have the same question. What about Borla headers? They seem pretty good.

search for threads on Borla Headers. They are proven to lower your power. Even the president of Borla admitted it. oh yeah, stillen and just re badged Borla's

Crawford headers look awesome. Is there a replica out there?

I'm happy with my top speed headers. There was a user (can't remember his name) that had them and posted before and after plots.

are you doing the install yourself? factor in many hours of labor if not .. your cheap header purchase is going to double its cost : P

Topspeed is cheap compared to other brands in price, are they equal length?

ill have zcargarage install it.... im thinking megan headers

SpeedDemon20

all headers are pretty much the same, they all look alike, only brand names make you think that crawford are way better than megan or somn....

So your saying that side by side the megan and the crawford would be the exact same?

Are the nismo headers better than the non nismo ones? Just wondering because you said the topspeed were nismo knock offs.

SpeedDemon20

Megan can compare to many other ones, crawford headers are over a 1000 bucks, i dont feel like spending a G for headers, i would love to see dyno on crawford and megan headers. Its the brand!

I think megan products are cheap personally, if I was putting headers on I would want to make sure it's a permanent piece, something I would never have to swap again..

+1 on the permanent piece.

Highly agree on the permanant piece I just wish someone could lay out the two side by side snap pics and see if they are all the same or not.

They are not. DC headers suck, The Stillen Headers lose power below 5000rpm (according to Modified Dave on Myg35.com, he has a set on his revup G35c) and the Strup headers I've seen dynos to support they gain power.
