Why limit yourself to those. There are many really awesome headers out there that have become quite affordable.

I dont want to spend $1000+ on one. If I did I would buy a turbo manifold and some other turbo stuff.

Is that the only reason your telling me to get it, Because its easier to install?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by verticle &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

I would get that but I dont have the extra money for a 2.5" cat. I have also heard that modification has to be done for the header to fit right. Also on all the pics I have seen of the header, it has a hole for the O2 sensor on the header, Both of mine are on the converter.

the reason i'm telling you to get the 2 piece is because they all will give you about the same gain. therefor i'd just go with the 2 piece design and make it easier on yourself. that's what i would do if i could do it again. i have a 41.

Please do yourself a favor and save up for a 2.5" cat. I got a 2.5" DC JDM 4-1 from somewhere for around 400 something and a 2.5" Carsound for only like $180 from IPS. Those 2" DC pieces you mentioned are no good.

Even without the 2.5 in collector mod it is still a nice header. Best260 bucks i ever spent. In fact i have one for sale now decided to ditch the gsr and get a h22.

Then if you don't have enough money, wait till you do and do it right. How long would it hondestly take to save another 200 bux. Thats like half a weekly paycheck.

comptech is the best quality, performing and aesthically pleasing header i have ever owned. i think retail nowadays is like 400 beans.

like mentioned above, just save a little change and get a nice one first.
