Reply to "180 degree headers"

I dont feel that 180s are worth the effort unless you plan to race. The extra hp only appears at or near the tuning rpm of the header when compared to a good header and muffler. You will loose the use of your trunk and the heat will be intense. Some cars have even burnt the paint on the deck lid. They do look cool and sound unique. If the sound and look is worth it, then go for it. Otherwise, if you really use your car, you might just stick with normal exhaust. Before my turbos, I had Big bore exhaust and loved the big-block rumble sound. And I was told you could hear me over a mile away.
