K well i made a post about the Ebay longtube headers couple page back and i guess it's only right to give u guys an update. Soooo, apparently they are Megans, even tho when i bought them it said Optimum Imports lol (good thing i guess). Install went great, perfect fitment, welds looked just as good as my bassani. The day i installed them i felt some power up top, worth it imo. Remind u i did not reset the ecu. Well two days later (today) i take my car out and WOW, this thing made my car pull 2x as hard lol (i guess the ecu took some time before getting adjusted). I thought i would lose some power down low, but i felt power increase low and primarily mid-high range. Coming from stock headers with testpipes, these made a huge difference. For $225 shipped u cant beat it, best power mod i have thus far.

nice gains, thanks for the results...now the only test left is durability which seems to be the issue with all tp/header regardless of brand

Well it's definately louder than my previous setup with stock headers and Testpipes. My car does sound raspier and i do get more of a drone but it's worth it imo with the gains i felt

WAIT..Wait.. what??






300 dollars for header/testpipe install plus Dyno???!

Thats a badass deal. Which I can a place like that around here. Main reason I have not got headers would be a PITA to install. How long did it take install?

^ It took me and two of my friends 7hrs, we coulda done it in 5-6hrs if we didn't goof off as much lol. One reason we took so long is we dropped a nut somewhere in the engine bay, to this day it's stuck in there somewhere lol. I suggest doing it with a friend, one does the passenger, while the other does the driver side.

Default Info on hitch?

Hi nice Z
Two questions:
After headers did ECM need any "adjustment"?
And where did you find a hitch for your Z?
Thanks, Russ

Ya it was 300 total for the install and dyno. The guy hoooked me up because he thinks I'm going to come back to him for other stuff. Which I won't lol. But After the headers and test pipes I didin't do any ecm adjusting. Just plug and play. And the hitch came stock with the car. It was actually a UHAUL hitch so I think you can get it at a uhaul store. Pretty funny though . It was a ***** taking off
