Hey, if you're too economically pinched to buy headers and then have them installed, wait until you get a quote to drop your front subframe and transaxle to put in a clutch and flywheel. Ouch. That big labo expense is part of why some CEGers say do everything in your tranny at one time, so get a limited slip differential also at the same time.

If your rig has high enough miles, gutting the precats (aka "mystery mod") is a good idea, because replacing those clogged precats/manifolds with non-clogged manifolds is basically the same labor time as putting in headers and thus can be expensive. Ouch again.

PS- Don't forget the MIL eliminators.
