Default Another Header topic

I tried searching for Header reviews but just found a bunch of "look at my dyno graph" b.s. In your opinion what header is good for the money. I'm not looking to spend 1k on one but around 600-650. I heard about some header which was pretty much like the smsp but a lot cheaper. Does anyone have any info on them? Thanks guys.

Bang for buck - DC JDM 4-1, but low clearance.
all around best- Toda, but pricey
most user friendly and cop hide-able- OEM JDM 4-1 and affordable.

SMSP you get what you pay for
Hytech also you get what you pay for But both of them... $$$$

IMHO.

What application is this for? N/A? F/I?

Do you have any other bolt-ons? What are you future plans?

If you are running close to stock, get the DC JDM 4-1, that's what I'm using.

If you plan on a mild N/A build, get something like the RMF. It comes jet coated, so it will help keep the engine bay temps down and reduce intake temps.

I don't know which one to get, RMF makes a jethot coated and a stainless.. The car isn't driven that much however, I'm just worried about longevity and durability now.. but big price range between the two. 700 for Jethot and 1200 for stainless. ???

I think im gonna go with the RMF, mugen doesn't make Sh*T for power compared to stock and spoon is just like mugen all over again, plus you spend a bunch of money for not a lot of power gains. I don't think im going to do the $1200 stainless... Jethot coat will stay much cooler, plus the car isn't a daily driven car, so i'm sure the metal won't fatigue or crack over time.
