How much did it cost you? I'm interested in doing it, but I've heard it's best to wait to get headers.

Do they make headers for your car? You've got a 240. I didn't know they made headers for that engine.

Oh I have no idea. Never really looked into it. If they do great, but if not I could really care less since it is a C240. Not much you can do with this car anyways.

Only reason I was asking is, there's no reason to wait for headers for your car since they don't exist. There are a few people with 240's that have SI tuning and are very happy with it.
