Are there any affordable headers coming out for the 8? Maybee by Borla, B&B, etc. I know there is a set at rotary extreme for $1,400 :eek: $650 for headers on the 8 would sound pretty good right about now that I have everything else done. I plan on keeping mine NA, so the last thing I have to do is headers, and a ECU.

I heard that the expensive header you posted about gives 3HP to the wheels or something like that.(not sure with what other mods it was tested.......) Definitely not worth it. Something has to come out in the future. I'm surprised that there aren't more aftermarket parts for the 8 yet, it has been out for a year....

I bet headers are coming, but the weird port designs and cramped engine space might make them tricky to produce and design.

I have heard that the stock exhaust manifold is actually pretty damn good. Many companies might have tried header designs, and had little/no improvement in horsepower.

Time will tell.
