Default Headers

I have Corsa pace cars and x pipe. What are good headers that are not expensive? What should I expect to pay for install and tune in PA? Thanks

Thats a LOT of questions in one sentance!


Theres a lot of OPINIONS about headers! Heres mine. If you want the BEST, get American Racing Headers. If you want ones that work very well and cost the least, get SS Auto Chrome headers. There very good headers but the CORVETTE TAX isnt charged. THEY WORK and are NOT expensive!

Seriously, there great headers. They work and work well. Either you get a NAME BAND or get a set on the discount!

Cant recommend any one in PA but can in CT.

Install. $350 - $450

SS Autochrome Headers are decient headers at a decient price. Some people dont need to have LG, Kooks, AR or other brand name headers on their car to make some extra HP. Yea, they may not make that extra 5-10 hp but they still make more than the stock manafolds!

Why knock it if were happy.

I've looked at their web site and unless I read the product description incorrectly by the time you throw in high flow cats and X pipe the price jumps up significantly.
