are they worth it

my cusin needed some parts for his car and he asked me to take him to one of the local junk yard and i did. so when i was there i saw an f body section towards the end and i own a 95 3.4L camaro. then i came accross a firebird with the same 3.4L engine and it had headers and i asked the guy how much he wanted for them and he said he would take 35 a piece so is it worth buying some used headers. the guy said he would sell me the egr valve for 25. what do u guys thing good or bad deal

70 bucks for a pair of headers sounds like a good deal to me, I would grab them.

I'd do it, especially if they're coated.

As long as they aren't damaged, I don't see why not.

$70 for headers is a good deal considering new ones run $400+.

there worth it if you want them there a bitch to install i had to grind down the side of my pacesetters to make them fit. i dont notice any improvement in the car but i didnt expect to i also have a whole exhaust system. but the car does break the tire lose easy now so maybe i just dont notice it.

if they are pacesetter headers. you need the headers and the y pipe. the y pipe will bolt to you cat. you also need gaskets. no one really makes gaskets for the 3.4 so what i did was i went to advanced auto bought some for a fiero and cut them up and made my own. you might need other bolts to i used stage 8 bolts
