well ppl i been seaching and i see couple of people using real expencive headers, well i want to spend about 300 on mine!! but there is too many options, like dc sports and itr oems... any suggestions or advices, im building just rebuilding my ls, putting a gsr head on it and itr pistons, im not trying to get a lot of power of it, just need a reliable and pretty strong car for daily drive... thankls in advance!!!

 

If it's JDM ITR they have a 2.5 inch collector, I have a DC 4-1 which is basically an ITR copy, but its collector is smaller, and works with stock Catalytic converter.

 

i picked up a jdm itr 2.5'' collector replica a few years ago for $250. good header.

 

the JDM ITR 2.5" is a good choice and good for the money. Look for oem and not replica to keep a good resell value.

 

I am telling you what I have done personally. Go to ebay and look for a tri-y header design. I purchased a JVT for under $200. With my setup, my local tuner gave credit to the exhuast system I am using, which was entirely purchased on e-bay. The tri-y out performed the DC header I had previous. the collector is 2.5 inch, but you can get a cat for the teg 2.5 in/out(jdm).
If you see a tri-y for cheap, make sure materials used and welds are quality, then purchase. This header produces a noticeable amount of torque that does not vary much. There are other companies that sell tri-y and they put them on e-bay just to get more sales. Check it out!

JDM ITR headers are very good. I hear DC headers make no noticable gains.

 

we really need to know if you plan on keeping the stock cat or not. if you run a jdm cat or any other 2.5" cat the jdm itr is a great buy. the 96-97 is $150-200 and the 98+ runs about $350. if you keep the factory cat {which i would not suggest due to size} edelbrock is probably your best bet BUT they cost as much as the JDR ITR 98 spec. upgrade the cat and run the 98 spec. it's a good combo. as mentioned before, buy the OEM one. it's not just resale either. they actually work, don't crack, bolt up right and do what they should.

 

JDM ITR headers.

 

Oh and I hear Hytech headers gives you a lot of gains. Real or replica.

 

thanks bro!! they look pretty nice, are they good thou how long have u had it for??

 

Dude, I just check ebay, and it's not under $200. It is actually well over that price, more like $350. Send me a link so I can think about making a purchase, since I need a header myself.
