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.

Check the sponsors. Evosport is one of the main sponsors and administrators for this website.

Many members purchase from evosport.

I can vouch for the speed governer but if your gonna confirm it yourself, just make sure that your 07 has Z rated tires and not R rated like mine when i was going at 160 mph
