Spyder Auto Headers?

Im looking for a set of headers for my maxima and while searching I came across these headers. Anyone have any experience with them?

That's not an actual picture. They're probably similar to eBay brand in reality.

I was of the understanding that headers were a waste of time for our cars....that the cost far outweighed the benefit. I don't see any reason to spend money on something that offers no/little performance gain. There are proven methods for mods and the rest is just making someone a buck.

It's not my buck though, so...

That entirely depends on your goals for the car. But there are definitely performance gains going from y pipe to headers.

OP I think I've seen those listed in someone's sig on here. They are just like the shorty headers you find on ebay.

On a VQ30de with stock heads/cams? What are they...3 hp? Plus, iirc you lose some power in other parts of the curve too. My point is that headers are a complete waste unless you're going for an all motor (ported heads, cams, oovi, etc) build. For the average "I just want to make more power" question, no.

Its going to be a full bolt on 3.5 4th gen. Cams are on the to do list in the future.

IDK about the benefits of headers on the vq35, do you?
