    :shrug: I am looking for some LTHs and have some questions:
    1. Who has the best for the buck?
    2. What are the gains...anyone have Dyno Plots?
    3. What else do I need to replace (cats, B-pipes, etc..) to install?
    any help is greatly appreciated.

    Not sure, but your best bang for the buck is probably BBK long tubes and their H or X pipe. Not sure which they offer, but BBK makes a decent product for the money. Try to stick with ceramic coated.

    I got good gains with JBA's (+30 rwtq). Agree with staying with ceramicoated headers whichever way you go. Really helps keeping the underhood tempsdown, and increases corrosion resistance.

    You'll pay for them though.

    Tune

    do you have to tune your car with headers or are they a true bolt on?:shrug:

    Some do some don't. Everyone has had different experiences.
