I have SMS (saturnmotorsports) headers on both my cars and A+. Kinda spendy but excellent quallity and fitment, not to mention they are full length headers and good people there also. Just my opinion....

If I were to buy a header for my car it would either be the SMS one or the CTI header.

Depending on what you want to pay is going to determine the header you get. I had the SCDYNE and it wasnt bad, the gaskets were a pain but other than that pretty good. GM makes a manifold that will give you 6 hp or something? The Jason Smith header is pretty nice too. I might go with the jason smith because its black and i like to keep things simple and stock looking under the hood. The SMS and CTI Headers are really nice looking but a bit too pricey for the performance for my taste. I havnt heard of any dynos from the SMS or CTI either but with there quality it should be nice. Hope this helps.

This supercharger thing is all too new to me! With my Z I had exhaust manifolds...lol but seeing as a supercharger isn't powered by exhaust, headers are possible.

Is our car a MAF car? When you flash the ECU do they do it at a dealer or do you buy a preprogrammed eprom?

Yea we got a MAF sensor if that's what u wanna know. They usually reflash at the dealer but of course some dealers are retarded and don't know what your talking about.

CTI & SMS are possibly the best options....
Jason Smith's header is amazing for $200ish though...
GM sells a honed manfiled as well...
