Headers and Intercooler

I am looking to buy an intercooler and possibly headers for my new motor build that should be done this time next week. My mods are in my signature, I am currently running a 6.0 <acronym title="Intercooler">IC</acronym> but everyone is telling me to due away with the plastic ends, is this true? What brand should I get?

I was also looking at headers, again mods are in my sig, are these beneficial? or just for sound? Pros? Cons?

Thanks guys.

I will be selling my 6.0 IC when I receive my new intercooler, so if anyone is interested PM, it would be nice to sell it before ordering my new one so I have money to put towards it.

If I'm not mistaken headers should help with EGTs?

An aftermarket like Spearco will help to drop EGT's even more.

Spearco makes a good IC also DI headers or which ever ones that Kris got for his truck would work great on your EGTs man.

You will probably pop that with the new setup.. LOL

What turbo are you running... must have missed it in your sig??

If you are looking for EGT drop then headers really are not going to do much for you... just a little quicker spoolup and from what I have heard they sound pretty cool.

I have a spearco on my truck.. I didn't notice a huge difference in EGT's but I know it helps...

Water injection helped me the best. I just have a coolingmist stage II setup.

For you the best bang would probably be gears if you still have the stock 3.73's with the 38's. That is my biggest EGT problem...
