Headers For 3rd Gen
 
Does anyone have headers installed on their cars? If so how does the power feel? Are there any proven gains from the headers? The only manufacturer that i've found that has headers is OBX. Are there any other companies?

I have istalled Pacemaker Headers (Only in Australia at the moment but shipping to US next year).
Gains have been excellent. Mainly gear changes have improved as it now pulls into the next gears powerband much better increasing acceleration times by a good seat of the pants 1 second to the 0-100km/h mark.
Fuel consumption has only dropped slightly too. Before I was doing 11.4km to a litre, and now 11.2km litre, but that's probably because I'm driving a lot harder because it's a hell of a lot better now.
Can't wait till January to have the full production set put on the car as I've got a set of test headers on at the moment.
With the production set comes a high flow cat with a 2 1/4 inch cat back exhaust through to stainless stell custom straight through exhaust with a 4" dump tip (or maybe 5").
