New to the imports. I have a 16 nismo gonna stay na for a while so which header would you guys recommend.

Welcome to the board.. where in FL are you?

As per your question - I think FI Long Tube Headers are highly regarded... but I also know that there isn't a ton to be gained with headers since the OEM manifolds are tubular and already quite efficient.

Gainesville. Thanks for the reply that's what I have been seeing longtube or nothing basically

Choices are FI, PPE, or the Z1 shorty. These are 3 of the best for making power. If you are planning to change the headers yourself. The right takes about 1 hour if you are slow. The left side will take you about 6 hours of cussing. Been there, done that.

Yeah this z1 look good but they are out of stock right now which sucks ***. I'm bout to order stillen gen3s as well once I do that and the headers what should I buy to get the car tuned. On my 5.0 I had a handheld that had tunes is this the same

In that case, I would have to recommend the Stillen headers as I have heard the fit can be kind of iffy. =) Hope we can finally get some payback against you guys this year.

LTH's, cbe, and cai with a good tune should net you around 320hp at the wheels. Choices on tuning is UpRev and Ecutek. Ecutek seems to the better one for now.

Stay away from the Stillen headers. They are no better then the stock manifolds.

Come here! Let me smack you in the face a few times.

Motordyne has a new header which, if it produces gains over the stock headers, looks to be a very slick setup. The headers are "modular" and you can easily swap in either test pipes, cats, or their test pipes with helmholtz resonators.
