Default which header?

for an ls motor, what do you guys think would be the best header to match up to a spoon n1 exhaust, 2.5" all the way? im thinking 4-2-1 for the mid-range increase but what brand header do you guys recommend?

depends on your power goals. or is this all your going to do with the engine. i would say a safe bet would be an itr header

i need to do my gs headers also. out of tons of reading seems oem itr is my best bet? also does it basically match up upon installation? or do i need to cut/weld some jazz?

also does the wideband sensor connect near the end of the header-manifold?

If it is the OEM JDM ITR it won't fit because the collector is bigger than the stock piping. If you are switching out your entire exhaust system then go for it. I'm think this is true with the USDM ITR's collector as well, but I'm not sure. USDM ITR is cast iron so it doesn't really save any weight or anything. I bought a used dc header for $50 and it works for me.
