Headers don't do much at all to our cars. The only ones that really do are really expensive. I got the PLM header just because I already had an exhaust and TP and it was fairly cheap, but in order to see anything from a header, you would definitely want to get a tune.

First we have a header, not headers. Second, don't waste your money unless you are going to get an EMS and tune it. You might want to check out the Official Header thread in the Naturally Aspirated section and you will find tons of info on them. You aren't going to see any real gains with one without a proper tune.

I pluralized it meaning all the headers out on the market, but yeah. You're right. I got my header with plans to get an EMS and tune in the near future.

I hypothesize that most people don't see gains from headers because they run small exhausts. You can't increase velocity in the header, if your exhaust won't allow it.

I chose the PLM because it's supposed to be a J's racing replica, and the J's is one that produces power. But yeah my header goes along with a 70mm TP and 70mm exhaust.
