Default PPE Headers for GS400

I'm selling my used set of PPE Headers for the GS400. I only had it on the car for about 1.5 months and put on maybe 400 miles. They are the polished version so it adds a nice bling under the hood.

I'll start off with the bad: If you are expecting your car to accelerate like a Corvette ZR1, then these are not for you. The good: What you do get is a good amount of midrange power increase and that adds responsiveness. With my stock headers, my car would either have to downshift or it would slowly accelerate with partial throttle at 70mph. With these headers, the car just goes without hesitation. Mind you my car only has a borla exhaust right now. Everything else is stock. If you're supercharged, you'll probably gain more power.

There are a few reasons why I'm selling mine.
1) 90% of my drive is below 2000rpm. I'm not really making use of it.
2) My sub amplifier blew so I rather put money towards that.
3) I will eventually sell my car and I don't want to be removing the headers at the last minute. I'm limited on time.

PPE now sells it for $600+shipping and they're on backorder. I'm selling mine for $530 shipped FIRM (48 states). Please do not PM me with offers or asking me what's the lowest I will take because I'll just say $530 shipped. Not looking for trades at the moment either.

The only catch is that I will not be able to remove them off my car until March 19 so that gives time for some people to think about their buying decisions, or to save up. Once they are off the car, I will take pictures.

PM me if you have questions. Thanks for looking

Sales is pending to Oleg400 right now. Sales won't be finalized until near the end of March when I get these out of my car. Those who have interest can still contact me.


Vince, these aren't really 'hard' to install. I did do the install myself. It's just time consuming and you have little room to work with. Getting the stock heat shield off was probably the thing that took the longest. Installing the headers is MUCH easier than removing the stock one. Still, there are tougher jobs out there than this.

Wow! And all the hard work. lol GLWS! These aren't too bad of an install if you have the right tools. I installed these myself as well and it wasn't too bad just time consuming. If i part out my car in the near future, look for another set of these in the classifieds.

Thanks for the offer but I just fixed my amp. Took a few days to locate the right transistors, but all is well now

2 weeks until I remove them off my car! I'm going to miss flooring the car, but I spend way too much time in traffic.
