Unless your friend will be going the supercharged/nitrous route, there is really no reason, other than sound, to buy full headers as opposed to just the y-pipe

go ahead and get the 150 headers, see how well the fit up, and then the extra cost to put them on and move the motor mount, ends up being more than 150

The ONLY headers worth your time and money are Cattman headers.

Yup. And turbo too I would guess. At least of the turbo setup used the stock type manifold set up

I'm sure you could. In fact, I don't know why ssr didn't just use the stock manifolds for their turbo kit for the maxima
