alright well i'm finally going to buy some headers and a CAI. and i heard that you might as well just get them off ebay and save lots of money. so i've been looking around and found this CAI for about 25 bucks. i'm just concerned that its crap and will just mess up my engine. so heres the LINK (BTW i have a K&N filter that i can use instead of what they have)

now i've also seen "chrome" headers that seem to be the same deal. and i think that there just break down over time and screw over my engine. heres the LINK


i think i might just spend the extra money get some OBX headers. but thats what i was wondering about. any advise would be great. sorry that i ask alot of questions 02.gif

those are obx headers, and will work ok. do some searching for fitment issues.

i cant view the intake page, but any one will work really...

Header is fine, you can even see the reflection of the guy taking the pic!! laugh.gif

I'd recommend that intake over the others as it's the AEM clone instead of an injen WAI (like mine)

Prices are all pretty good too, so I approve fing02.gif

oh man i bought those headers and downpipe was shorter for like 10 inches so i had to put my old downpipe and cut a lil bit and weld cause old down pipe was a lil bit bigger + even if new downpipe would fit , oxygen sensor opening was facing up so there's no way i put sensor in there cause of pass. axel i dunno man but even with only headers i felt power a lil bit but. and also i wrapped it so it smells now
sorry guys for gramar mistakes my brains are totally our of working 15 hours today 02.gif
9-3 original work 3-10 my headers , 10-12 was waiting for bodyman to paint tiburon to close shop and helped him a lil so i'm TIREDD piece
P.S and those are not obx lol i can see that

hit or miss if you ask me. i'm sure it will fit if it says it will and the feedback rating is closest to 100%. never tried it but most obx headers fit. a CAI is just what it is, not many things can go wrong with one really.

i would definitly buy the intake, but im a little sceptical on the header. nowhere in the auction does it say direct bolt on...... so it might not fit like dimondhead said.
