and yeah Extrude HOne is way too expensive, try and find a local shop that does port and polishing, you'll probably save a lot of money, but don't expect amazing gains either, its already been tried and the conclusion was its useless with out forced induction!

there are no headers available and avoid Venom, they have a bad reputation...and the Venom400 is not a complete ECU upgrade, its a "booster", but its useless, dynoed on a Max only showed 1-2hp gain.

Here's a few pics of the headers that were fitted to my 3rd Gen. Unfortunately DA-MAX is correct when he says there isn't alot to be gained with them over a good Y-based exhaust while N/A. I did see a marked rise in peak power revs though, so maybe boosted users would benefit more.

Who did your exhaust work? Did the exhaust note change much?
