I just got enough money to manage the price of an MSDS header, but i wanted to know where the cheapest place to buy it is and fastest delivery, How much is it? For you ATX guys I'm wondering how much power i'm going to get out of this thing, so let me know.

Please edit your signature to remove the caps lock. Some people (including myself) consider it shouting.

spmotorsports has a very reputable name. Their price also seems very fair.
As for the CAPS.. Maybe he is happy about his mods.. i/expressions/smile.gif BUT I HEAR YA.. I THINK IT'S ANNOYING AS HELL.. I HATE CAPS LOCK.

Wow, I just went to ctamotorsports.com and man do they rip your legs off!!! I didn't find the header, but it doesn't matter because after i saw how much they charge for the Borla Dual Cat with Phantom tips $1,200.00, goddamn, before yodude i was going to buy it from SUMMIT RACING and together w/shipping it was going to be $605.00 and even cheaper from Muscle Motors and that's to Hawaii!!!!!!!!! I've heard you can get the header(MSDS) for around $485.00, but i don't remember where it was. No one has told me how much $ yet please let me know for install, I don't want to get ripped ya know, I know it's a tight squeeze down there.

oh yeah i forgot, couldn't i do it myself? I mean i know it's alot harder than a Honda etc. but don't you just have to take the manifold off and replace it with the header, then weld it or clamp it? I'm not the most experienced, actually hardly any installing stuff on my own. should i do it?

i too want to know cuz it cost a lot to get it installed...ive got an MTX...i looked at it, and the back one looks fine but i dont know anyway to get to the front header
It's possible- FastCougar, CivicEliminator, and I took about 5 hours to do the install on my car. Check out the pics at the bottom of my Cougar's page (in my sig link) for the pics. It's not bad if you have a little bit of experience and mechanical saavy (toot toot). Believe it or not, it's the back one that's more difficult than the front, even with more room in the back.
I intall headers (for a manual only- ATX's are a holy b**ch!), if you're in the DC area. I usually charge by the hour (~4 hours since I'm familiar with the process).

FROSTY COUGAR SINCE YOU ARE NOT POLITE ENOUGH TO CHANGE YOUR TEXT, ALL MY CORRESPONDANCE WITH YOU FROM NOW ON SHALL BE IN ALL CAPS!
IF YOU HAD PAID ATTENTION TO THE PRICES ON CTA, YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE "CDN" BESIDE ALL THE PRICES. THAT STANDS FOR "CANADIAN". AS IN, ALL THE PRICES ARE IN CANADIAN DOLLARS. THIS IS APPARENTLY A NEW THING, AS THEY USED TO HAVE AMERICAN PRICES AS WELL.
CTA HAVE THE MSDS HEADERS. YOU JUST HAVE TO "SCROLL" FURTHER DOWN THE "PAGE" TO "SEE" THEM.
I DOUBT YOU EVEN BOTHERED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I JUST SAID, SEEING AS HOW MUCH EFFORT YOU PUT INTO CHANGING YOUR SIGNATURE. MOST OF THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK ABOUT THE MSDS HEADERS COULD BE ANSWERED IF YOU BOTHERED TO SEARCH THE MESSAGE BOARD, AS THE TOPIC OF THE HEADERS HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH.

I'm not pissed, it's just rude. I consider it the equivalent of saying to everyone on the board "everything I have to say is more important than anything anyone else has to say"

i agree with gunmetal.... if you want to be treated fairly then don't come off rude.... if i type antyhing in caps it's to emphasize and yell it out loud.... this is netiquette we are talking about here

Wow, Gunmetal, chill dude, if they didn't remove our level of membership you'd realize I'm new, and i didn't realize you wanted me to remove them, but even if i did don't expect everyone to bow down and do as you please, don't you think maybe i like my caps, otherwise i would have done them in lowercase. I don't even know how to change my profile!!! Sorry dude, give me some info anyway, because it's not a big deal to me so if it makes you feel better i'll change it for all the members.
I had a question for DANG too, that's an ATX right? Anyway i checked my system last night and man those bolts are in the worse position, what kind of tool did you use to get that angle? Did you take them off through the top or bottom? What is the hardest and longest part of the install? I figured it looks like a 2 hour job, but obviously it's not, there must be something that I don't know.
Oh yeah is there only one Cat Converter?

Sorry, I just assumed that you'd noticed I'd asked you to edit your signature since I was the first one to respond to your post. That's why I'm upset. And it's not just me, most people on message boards (like PuckPuck said) consider all caps to be shouting. I'm not expecting anybody to "bow down and do as I please", I'm just expecting people to follow some sort of netiquette when asking other people for information.
If you want to edit your profile, just click on the "profile" tab to the right of "customize" at the top of the message board window (underneath the paypal banner ad). I would really appreciate it if you would. Thanks.

Okay, i tried going to PROFILE at the top of the message board, and even though I'm logged in it keeps saying"profile is only available to those who are logged in", i'll try later, but i've logged in 3times now and tried profile like 10times.

Ok if you have internet explorer you have to go into tools up on the tool bar, internet options, under temporary internet files click settings and then view files. Then select all and delete them, say yes to delete the cookies. Then try it again it should work. I had the same thing happen.
