1.) the headers are going for $100 (without shipping)2.) I always recommend using the nuts and bolts that come with a product and try not to re-use the ones you already have. First off the ones you already have might have enough wear and tear so replacing it would be a good idea anyway. Second if you're gonna put on a new product on your car its just better to match it up with new products to hold it together, know what I mean?3.) You're getting the headers with all the nuts and bolts that came with them. The headers have only been on for a couple of months so the nuts/bolts are in great shape. I noticed one washer that looked a lil bit damaged probably from over torquing it while installing so I just replaced it with a new one I got at a hardware store. (NEVER UNDERESTIMATE WHAT YOU CAN FIND AND USE AT A "LOCAL" HARDWARE STORE. I CAN'T SAY THAT ENOUGH TO ANYONE WHO LIKES TO WORK ON CARS.) I pressure cleaned everything to "like new appearance", honestly I'm really proud of myself cause they really look out of the box to me. I got your zip thanks so I'm gonna find out how much it is.

ebay headers. They worked great and noticed the difference immediately. I had installed and uninstalled them myself and pressure cleaned them to perfection.

What kind of difference do you mean? My car already sounds good. Do the headers really improve? Or, is it just a sound thing? What about power gain vs loss?

at idle it sounded was noticably smoother. I didn't feel any power loss on the bottom end but at midrange and topend you feel it. Passing cars on the highway is much easier and more fun lets just say. The setup that I had was the headers with the 2.25in inlet to 2.5in outlet resonated megan test pipes with the 2.5in inlet to 3in outlet y pipe hooked up to the stock rear section exhaust. This is an undercover exhaust if you know what I mean. You couldn't tell I had work done to the exhaust unless I revved it or was passing someone. No doubt this is one of the most basic and necessary upgrades that you can do specifically to the VQ engine. Intake and exhaust upgrades really shine on this car.

David,

Get me the dimensions and weights of the items and I'll go check on shipping for you. I deal with USPS and UPS a lot for all of my shipments.
