Just got my headers in for the ol' 3.8 yesterday...

i had previous arrangements for yesterday, so I didnt have enough time to take pics and post them. I know its not making any substancial gains to the car, but its a start. I havent touched the motor yet in any way except taking out teh a/c, and putting an SLP C.A.I. on, so this is a good start to putting a little more power down. And yes I know, these are pace setter headers, not exaclty the best exhaust company in the world, but their price was pretty good for the kit.

Looks good man, I hope you see a gain. I have a pair of Pace-Setter headers on my car and they went on perfectly. I didn't have any issues. Can't beat the price either.

Lol, i havent installedthem yet, im waiting for a tad bit more money so i can have a special exhaust put on, but from what I see, theyre' just right for the price. the only other company that I know if that sells headers for 3.8 is RKsport, theirs is 1 3/4 diameter tubing as to mine is 1 1/2, but theirs is almost 500 bucks i think. what did you do to resolve thoase issues with the steering rack, was that just from the installation, or when you were driving were you having the problems?
