Default How does this look?

As i posted a week ago, I'm looking for a little extra "bang" outta my eclipse, and no one really had any suggestions, so since I am new to mods and such I wanted to see how u guys felt about this kit and if you think it'll work......also if anyone has any other suggestions about things I can do for under $1000 or so thanks,

NO good. for under $1000 your not gonna get much bang. you need to turbo or supercharge it to really feel good gains. you can get headers that will help you at the moment

Looks like a scam. Check Sebba's signature.

Headers will get you noticable gains but not much HP. youll be abl to feel it though. Prices range quite large.. like $150-$1100 depends on what you want

You can put a header on your car and it'll sound juicier and feel a little better in response, but you won't get very much horsepower out of it until you get other stuff too. A good set of headers will run you about that price range for a 3.0. I don't really have a clue where people keep getting these like megan racing prototype headers, but supposidly they're out there, and you have the headers on tearstone's page. If you go with a long tube setup you can remove I think both the pre cats.

Yeah, don't waste your money on that garbage. But if you want I could use the money so I'll sell you my wifes hair dryer for 120.00 bucks!

Headers may not give you much gain but I believe they are a great compliment to other mods like muffler and intake. They help get the air out, which is required when you want hp. Just make sure you complete the exhaust with high flow cat and a cold air intake. Do research on types of headers, some give you more hp (top end)some are more for torque (low end).

the absolute cheapest way to get power out of a car is nitrous. you can install a nice nitrous kit into your car for about 300-600 bucks but YOU MUST HAVE IT TUNED. that is the mistake that most people who blow their motors make, they don't get their cars tuned. you can have from 40-60whp gains off of nitrous.

i believe these are them....the megan headers, if I go ahead and order these, you recommend them?
