Default headers??
I want to shave out my headers from better flow, would this be possible or no. Or should i just get an after market header and save the head ache for later??

If you already have a header, it's probably tubing with relatively thin walls. No room to carve them out.

If you have the stock cast-iron exhaust manifold, then get a header first.

don't wast your money on a ebay header crap welds and leak all the time. Look for that f22a4 header flows better then most after market header and plus it's OEM can't go wrong with that.

thanks for the info. i think i can pick up the header from the scrap yard for like $15. I just have to look in to all the gaskets.
