I want some performance (header) for my 2nd gen. I plan on building my engine to its max. but I need to start somewhere besides the inside for I dont have the money not hte time right now. SO i was wondering who would have the best header for my car. This way I will have this product under way.

a bit expensive but they do make them
yes jbp makes them. IMHO, to expensive and not the best design.
im building a set of headers for my 2.8l ironhead project in my 86 z24. they will be 1 3/8" primary diameter, and about 32" primary leangth. im going under the oilpan with the front header, so getting that long of a primary isjnt a problem. some people are concerned about ground clearance being that my car has a 2" drop, but im not. the valance on my car is 3 3/4" from the ground, and my oilpan is more than 5" up, so i figure 2" lower at the oilpan (at most, im going to tuck the tubes up real tight) isnt a big deal. the rear header isnt hard either, lots of room for it. secondaries (or collectors) will be 2 1/4" and 10" long. this design will be very good for low end torque, and still allow me to run the motor up to 7000+ rpm with no problems.
as for the rest of the exaust, im not sure yet. likely will run a duel 2 1/4" inlet, single 3" outlet cat, and 3" back to a flowmaster 60 series muffler. yes i realize that 3" is dam big for a v6, but with headers, your headers are doing the job of scavanging, not the entire exaust system. basicly past the collectors, you want to get the exaust gas out, and i figure 3" will be the best way to do it.
forget that.... they can keep 1500 bucks... I will bite my lips and foget about headers.... If I do anything I will pull my headers off and clean them up as much as possible and give them a decent coat....
