Headers for the ve30
Headers for the ve30
I have a 92 Maxima SE. For some reason I have not been able to find a set of headers for my car. I've already got a dual exhaust set up and a cold air intake. Any Ideas?

I wouldn't bother with headers (plus I don't believe anyone makes any for the VE30). The stock manifolds are already tubular and flow pretty well. The y-pipe is actually the big restriction in the exhaust system, replace that and you'll get some pretty decent gains. I believe Warpspeed Performance still makes them for the 3rd gen. You can get them from their site or on eBay.

Thanks I did already buy a y pipe for it.

In that case you're going to have to start looking for other stuff like ECU tuning, light weight flywheel (if 5-speed, this really increases response, I highly recommend one), maybe a light crank pulley (though I'm not much a fan of the underdrive pulleys myself), and if you absolutely want headers, a custom header.
If you want more than that... I'd start looking to boost it for some incredible fun. Throw in some 300ZX TT pistons and a turbo and start scaring some people.
I believe you should also be able to put in VG30DE pistons for a .5 bump in compression ratio, which will help a bit if you don't want boost. If you want to go a bit further you could get some aftermarket VG30DE pistons that are lighter and likely have a bit higher compression ratio with some aftermarket VG30DE(TT) rods for less weight as well. That should make a pretty noticeable difference... but will be quite a bit of work and be a bit expensive.
