Headers

I have a stage 2 kit with a 2.9 pulley and megan exhaust. I want to get headers before getting the zzp stage 3 kit. Which headers do you recommend and best price?

you only have one, so it's "header"

both OTTP & ZZP have a header/downpipe combo, so pick your poison.

Well, since we drive an Inline-4, you only need a HEADER. Singular.

And it all depends on how much money you wanna spend and your goals.

If you want a good looking, performing, and sounding piece, and you're willing to pay to play ($800)... I'd go with the Long Tube Header from OTTPerformance. There is a thread on here with pictures.

lol who cares. I'm used to saying headers haha. Anyways. Who cares if it looks nice I just want the power, I don't care how they look. I would like to get the best quality. Because I plan on getting the TVS later on the road but for right now I just want to do stage 3.

you don't care how IT looks, not they. you only have one.

go with the OTTP longtube header especially since you plan to get the TVS later. and do yourself a favor, save the money and dont get the zzp stage 3, just get the OTTP stage 3

You know, you can only use one header at a time right?

Killa702 is my brother. He knows a lot about cars but I don't at all. I know a lot about computers and electronics though hahaha. But yeah I need to get better tires before I do anything. This thing spins sooo much. I have the stock 215 tires. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about getting 235's but I don't know which brand to go with or anything.

it's all good man, it's just one of those things that as a site we tease about.

as for tires... there are tons of options about there. since you're in Vegas you don't have to worry about snow so that elminates most of the all season tires.

235/40/18 tires will give you a really nice footprint for traction.

these are the tires i'm going to recommend either from personal experience with them or from what i've heard (not in any certain order):

General Exclaim UHP
Goodyear GT
Dunlop Direzza DZ101
Nitto 555nt

i'm sure others can chime in with recommendations. there's a section on the forum for wheels & tires, check it out.
