gotta do both, but seeing as you don't have to live thru TX summers, i'd do headers first.

Headers but go for Comptech over OBX.

There's a group buy going on now too.

Headers..

But get the tint if you don't want headers, so when other CLS is passing you, at least they won't see who is inside.

yah you eventually will have to do both...but i'd do headers first. I'd go comptech but if you cant afford them .. obx is ok. powers still mostly there .. hope you don't get that weird resonance though.

Linner, where in NJ are you located?

Wait for the Stone Racing headers. They will be here soon. 400 shipped. I've been waiting for the longest time, but it's gonna be worth it.

Get the tints for now, and get the Stones when they get here.

Stone Racing headers are imported from the U.K.

They did have some fitment problems, but they've gotten better. If you are going to go OBX, you should wait for Stone. They don't have the annoying resonance problem, and they yield about the same performance increase as the Comptech headers.

Run a search for Stone Racing headers. You'll find a lot of information.

I have had Stone's on for 10k miles,, no problems to date,,, just the lower rubber hanger keeps breaking because it's pulled to tight... You have to clean a grind away small amounts of flash and material on the inside,, other than that you can't beat the price,,, I would not have headers, the $400,, well $600 w labor was the total cost,, I use comptec for springs and sways and am considering SC,,, but the $1200 for headers just frys my brain as way to high.
