best headers?
I know that there are a lot of other threads about this, but i want to know the best headers for cheap. i want performance gains. I heard DC was good and i also heard megan was good. but i heard some problems with both like leaks. And does it matter if its a 6-2-1 or a 6-1? Is there a difference? i have a CAI and my next step after headers is exhaust. any suggestions on the headers and exhaust?

Is anyone opposed to XS headers? Forums seem to rant and rave about them but I called a representative at Excelerate and he trashed them. Maybe because they dont carry them, but I would like to hear opinions. Also, do you have to change spark plugs when you change your headers?

XS Headers are no longer being produced. The company is now just reselling cheap eBay headers that are not produced from the XS design.
XS-P headers were originally Comptech imitations, which were great and cheap. Unfortunately, they don't make them any more, and you will be shipped a piece of trash if you try to buy one now.
They come up very rarely in the BM, so you're best bet is to try a different company. DC headers are the best, next to Comptech. Brand new Comptech headers will run you a little more than 1k. Used ones fetch around $500. The DC headers are around $400 new.
So if you don't have a 6 speed, then I'd suggest DC. If you plan on getting a 6 speed, stalk the BM for used Comptech or XS-P. Also, you could get the DC headers modified to fit a 6 speed.

As long as you have an Auto 2nd gen CL/TL your best bet is the DC headers. They are now T409 stainless steel with a ceramic coating.
