• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Mods for my 98 GTP

Your foot is what beats the hell out of the trans. No matter what size pulley you have if your pedal to the floor then expect the trans to give you 2 middle finders. You can still drop pullies even if its just a DD.

But my foot is what makes it fun!(;
 
Decided to balls up and do header install myself. Also going to replace all my gaskets and o rings. Save myself $380 labor!
 


Also, if you want to not be a broke high schooler then go with a pulley drop at most and the supporting mods for that. The more you put on the higher the chances are of something going wrong. Like a wise man once told me, "you can rewash 'looks good' but you can't fix 'went too fast'"

Headers are part of the supporting mods...if I want to go to a 3.4.

I see what you're saying! And one of my mom's friends is on the pit crew for Kevin Harvick in NASCAR. I called him today and he said that the slim performance gain on headers is really not worth it. He said if it were hi, he would throw on a solid 3" downpipe, Fendersell intake, colder spark plugs, tune, and a 3.5" pulley!
 
I'd say do headers because they cost a little more than a downpipe anyway. Also wouldn't recommend a fender well intake, just to play it safe because that makes it easier to get water sucked up. Blueguy has a thread on here that will help you out with the modding process. That is if you haven't already seen it

Yes but considering header install is very advanced and complicated, I be paying $200 additional to have them installed. I'm not looking to create a total speed demon. I may be able to drop to a 3.5" even if I don't do headers.
 
What's the point of wasting money only to gain 10-15 HP? I always say if you do something go big or go home. Headers are complicated especially the brand you buy and who does it. A shop will always have issues with cheaper brand of headers and will charge out the ass to mod the mods..lol...I am taking mine to ZZP, screw all the crap. Shops around here want $500+ to install them not including the cost of the headers, clamps, and gaskets so I might as well pay ZZP $850 to install their brand and be done with it.

Holy hell! Your paying $850 plus the cost of headers!? Not worth it bro! Just my opinion though, do what you want

But still, think about it. You can get a ZZP downpipe for 150 if you send your old cat in and get $50 back. Install yourself, that saves you $700 to do other stuff to your car! A quality tune, CAI, spark plugs, anything! If your set on headers, go for it
 
I just don't understand what a downpipe has to do with anything except for it being a little less restrictive. I mean headers should be way better than just throwing on a downpipe.
