yes, they look to be correct, i don't know if they would fit though if you ever converted to a manual, but they should be fine with an auto though


and shipping is free, which may mean a slightly higher initial price, but hey free shipping and not having to worry about paying that also

, maybe a couple of wheel horsepower, but yeah the auto sucks up most of any of the gain you get from it though (remember most companies exaggerate their power claims, and even then it is the peak gain that they claim, while the avarage gain can be quite a bit lower)

stock one will probably not even fit, since they are not restrited of where they can locate the connection between the two, since they already include the j-pipe (downpipe) (let alone a slightly different bolt pattern between the two probably)

so more then likely will use the one that it comes with, and why might you want to use the stock one

So do you think that it is even worth it for me to get the headers? And i was just asking because i didnt know, i don t know too much bout cars.

worth it, depends on what you ultimately want to do to the car, mod it till your heart desires, or sell it in a few years (and i mean power wise not cosmetic wise)

don't get me wrong it helps, but not to the extent most believe though, but now if you where putting it on a car already s/c (from comptech or something) then that be another story

but the headers on our cars do seem to be one of the more restrictive parts for making good power, but on an other wise stock car, they do not do a whole lot (quite good from the factory for a stock car)
you need other mods to be able to start realizing the full potential of the headers though
