My 2003 OZ so far has a catback and an intake mod. In the near future, I'm planning to do a piggy back ecu upgrade. I'm also thinking about Kamikaze headers. Which would give me more bang for my buck, the headers for around 300 dollars or the piggy back ecu for 399? Thanks.

Other two privous responses are wrong. The headers designed for this car do not produce that much more HP or TQ over stock, they only change where you power hits. You'll see a slight, and I mean slight, better pull in 2nd and 3rd gear at WOT. I would if I were you go with the piggy back. You'll get 10-15whp from that where as a header alone will get you maybe 2hp peak hp.
