Thread failure..............
1. Wrong forum
2. Bad grammar, lack of
punctuation. ie it's they're not their....it's know, not now
3. No mention of what headers you're referring to on ebay......

Go with Cattman or Hotshot (discontinued). Anything else is basically a stock manifold and useless.

Agreed!!! Just to add to his list
4.How are you running a SC and have no basic knowledge of a decent header for your car?

Unless you want to spend like $500+ for 5hp, I would not bother with headers.

Get the altima long tube headers and then make a equal length y pipe. Trust me its sounds sick. You could get them off ebay for like 150 or 180 shipped.

If you don't want to pay much for headers then there is no point in you even bothering unless you are going for looks rather than performance. Post #4 states your answer if you want HP. Ebay's will only make your engine bay look much nicer.

Get the headers and be done with it, seems as if you've already made up your mind.

You’ve got a VAFC, so I’m assuming you’ve dyno’d or at least plan on it sometime soon?

Naw, I don't have headers, nor need headers to understand what has been stated before. There's a thread somewhere in here that shows the differences between a few headers that are made for our cars. Just like NmexMax said, it seems like you made your mind so................ It all comes down to much much power you want to get out of your engine. If I had your setup I would definitely go for either Cattman's or Hotshots(if you can get a hold of a set)
