For those who want Headers and new intake... I have been reading a lot of posts about headers and an intake for the LS4. I would love both of these as well but let's face it, it probably will not happen.
I just want to throw out there that there is a company that does an excellent job porting our exhaust manifolds and intakes. I am in no way trying to promote the company but if we want some HP gains and reduce knock a little bit then this seems like the obvious choice. The comapny name is FasterProms and they are located out of Tampa, FL. I contacted them and for an exhaust manifold port it is around $200.00 and for the intake it is $300.00. They also port Throttle Bodies too for I think $100.00.
With the intake and manifolds alone for a combined price of $500.00 you'll get the same if not more HP than a set of headers with a LOT less money to shell out. I just want to throw this out there since we have no other options at this point. The intake alone reduces 1/4 mile times by .2 tenths. Not too bad if you ask me and the manifolds will not only flow better but also reduce knock. Not a bad idea guys...

X 2 what Paul said. The Mani's will NOT throw any codes either. You have to worry more about a HF cat setting the P-0420 code which can be deleted by a tune.

I would think so since it changed the sound of my old GT when I had that done. I haven't had this done to my GXP yet so I can't be too sure. I can only go by a previous vehicle it was done to.

MCSS07,
I am sure they can put a coating on but I have never asked. They are a sponsor on here so you could always contact them. I think his name is Jeremy if I am not mistaken.

After talking to a few places I might just send my car to get custom headers done. Price tag is 1200.00 but if this draws in enough people after I get them done, I would receive 400.00 back.
I might think this over and go with it.

I am not sure if I will get these done, but this is the quote I have from the company who is offering them up.
Again, I do not know if I will because that money can be used towards a car that already has a HUGE aftermarket parts list. HINT: Camaro SS

After rockers I can only do the porting. I have done everything else possible mod wise but that. I am not sure when I will get the porting done though as I can't be without the car for too long. I know he was supposed to get some cores but I am not sure he has. He has been really busy lately.
