Essentially it's good to support HT vendors. They are selling the best products. They'll post info about power gains, and they generally are very good about proving the quality of the product also.

I don't know the info on Hytech so it may be a great header.

This should even be a question...

SMSP is one of the best when it comes to exhaust manifolds. The quality is outstanding, and there is no lack in performance. Dave is a great guy to deal with, very helpful.

The big tube hytech replica on ebay, would probably not be the best choice for you. If the gsr is still a 1.8L, then i suggest you get the small tube, if you go that route. The big tube is made for higher displacement motors such as 2L, 2.1L etc. I think it would hurt the flow of the exhaust air, especially in a stock gsr motor.

Price is also very important, as i do not know if you are on a budget. Hytech replicas can be had for 300-400 depending on where you get it, used or new etc. The SMSP, if you decide to go with the real one, will cost you from 700-1000 depending on if you get it used or brand new straight from Dave.

Smsp > Hytech replica. I care more for quality, welds and fitment. So smsp gets my vote.
