a worker at a local car shop told me headers are to much of a pain and dont produce good enough hp gains to make them worthwile.
weather or not he's right i could care less.
but he said often you'll fry out the headers gasket with in 5-6months and have to replace it?? is that true? it sounds absurd!

 

I've been running he same gaskets for three years. no problems at all.
whoever you are talking to, stop talking to them. I-D-ten-T.

 

pretty much what Relic1 said.
