That's a problem I find with internet research, for every positive review you can find a negative one. As mentioned above you can start here but It makes good sense to call or contact the manufacturer, this also gives you insight to their customer service.

Your best bet is to stockpile what money you can and do your mods in bigger chunks. That sounds difficult but you'll be far better off in the long run. Most items require changes in your tune so you will blow money going back each time. Most owners I talk to start their stories with "well, if I had it to do over again", hopefully the knowledge compiled in this website will prevent you from costly do-overs.

To add to your confusion if all you need (now) are the headers themselves you might want to look a Kooks also.

yeah if you CAN go with big chunks of mods. I did this last year. Got all the parts i needed for heads/cam full bolt on's and full exhaust and did it all at once. This way you get a REALLY big smile on your face when you first hit the gas

Call the manufacturer?.... As if they are gonna say dont buy our products. To the OP its about 5 good companies to get your headers form.For a good set of L/T's look to spent 1k-2k.

ive actually heard its more fun to do it one by one, so you can feel each mod individually

but either way, modding rules!

I think doing all the mods at once is a better plan. You will save lots of money on tunning if you do everything at once. Thats why I waited to do my heads/cam/headers all at once.
