Actually you luck out you can get incar tune from overkill, but do that after your mods. :: Overkill Motorsports ::
for losing low end with headers and hv3 that is true, which is why I went with my downpipe instead of headers and will be getting a Power-log(from ZZP) in the spring so no low end trq loss, but its pretty much the same price as headers. and i can turbo one day if I really want(cant turbo with headers)

anything is compatible with HV3, except a supercharger.
downpipes: ZZPerformance - ZZP Downpipes #ZZ-GPDP
Powerlog/PLOG: ZZPerformance - 304 Stainless Power Log #ZZ-304PLOG
but like I said, its the price of ebay speedy daddy headers, even thought hear speedy daddy's are out of stock nowadays.

They're out of stock every once in awhile until a new batch is made. As of now they're in stock.

should read this couple times over then

Yup headers replace both the front and rear manifolds as well as the stock down pipe. If you go with a plog that will replace the front manifold and a zzp downpjpe would of course replace the stock downpipe. Installation would be easier with a plog/downpipe combo. You'll still see a nice gain.

Most of us say always go header because they flow better and will cost you nearly the same as a plog/downpipe. But if your planning on staying n/a a plog and downpipe would be just fine and cuts down quiet a bit on the install time.

Which way has less low end loss? I would like to keep as much low end as possible sence I feel like i've already lost some with the K&N air intake. Not sure if that's what has happend but it feels that way too me. Also I probly wont be doing the install myself. I don't want to mess things I don't know about up, so if the headers don't loose to much low end will they be a better bang?

Headers will cause you to lose more low end on a n/a set up. Ill stick w/ plog and downpipe combo in your case. Install can be done in a few hours it's rather easy. If you have basic sockets/ a few extensions and a breaker bar your good to go. Headers would be a harder install and cost you more as well.

Yay to the front and rear inlays in red if that's the secondary color your keeping. The rocker inlay..no...keep it simple you don't want it to scream. The inlays would be a nice touch and keep it looking oem ish. As far as painting I wouldn't go overboard under the hood w/ the red. I would just paint just the dog bones and leave the rest black.

correct.
and yes headers will lose low end. and headers would be way more expensive if your going to do it at a shop, plog and downpipe can be done at home with basic tools.

Yup a cheater bar. Linked below in case we call it two different things.

I wouldn't pay someone to install it for me unless they were charging you a very low price.

Most go with the SE lip instead of the inferno. You can get the SE from the dealership and is easy to install. The inferno seems to have a fitment problem and most have ti use screws or bolt to reinforce it and just doesn't flow good with our cars IMO.






If you'll like to rocker panel inlays..try it out and see how it turns out worse case scarnrio your just a few $.

Not unless you do something custom. I would love to have some to match the honeycomb grills.
