Oh yeah...mileage is nothing for these cars ...Look for at least 200k on the motor.

Rookie, if $90.00 for a set of headers is to expensive, you will need a differant hobbie.

hey 88workcar, I understood that you suggested I get a set of 1 1/2 longtubes. from the prices that I've seen, longtubes headers are $250 bucks and the longtube x or h pipe is around $300. its not a bad considering I know people that spend $800 bucks on an exhaust for a honda. But aren't the shortie headers with the x pipe cheaper. I've seen used for about $90 buck and h pipe for $110. Where have you gotten your parts from?? thanks man

Flowtech, Headman, and a couple of others build a cheap, $90.00 long tube. Call Jegs, they have them. No they are not pretty, they will rust over a little, but they will last about five years. They do make more power than a 1 5/8" on a stock to mild engine. By the time they go bad you will need to up grade anyway. But for now a $100.00 will get it done.
