No such thing at that price. Lowest cost headers are from AA -- http://store.activeautowerke.com/col...exhaust-header but they're sold out anyway.

AA headers are the cheapest and they net you some decent power for NA engine. I bought them at around 800
But you should probably install the aa tuning software for better performance

I had mine for around 5 months without any issues ( knock on wood).

I had to install a set of high flow catalytic converters behind my secondaries because of the smell . To be 100 % honest I couldnt smell anything inside the cabin, but I was driving behind my car one day and I could really smell the headers so I decided to add a set of cats , the car does not smell now , at least I cant smell it anymore except in the morning when the car is cold , but that is related to the location of the cats now, it takes longer for them to warm up and get rid of the smell, once the car gets going the smell goes away.

Quick question,not hijack,but I know all about the tune for headers,can the n54 dp fix work for headers? I'm waiting to tune all at once and my headers are going in,I found a nice pair of aa on eBay,.Thanks guys.

Aaaaaaand just for reference, stock headers. Really restrictive and probably heavier.

Is installing headers without a tune worth it?
Maybe even if it doesn't make alot of power, perhaps just the sound of them would make it worth while.

Without a tune, report back when it's time for emission testing.
