Default need help on deciding a header

been researching on which header to get. i've checked out comptech, spoon, mugen, & j's racing. just wondering if anyone of you guys are running these headers and how much are the power gains. which one is the better bang for the buck.

Best bang for the buck = OEM. Still bangs, but no bucks.

At least he said header.

J's or Mugen, if you're tuned.

You know it. Not like he'd buy either if he said "more bang for the bucks."

So why not go standalone if the EMS costs less than your exhaust?

It'll let you fine tune and get the most out of your mods, no matter what they are. I figured something like an EMS was nothing to a baller like Oz.

That's basically a stroker kit with OEM reliability.

i agree to some extent......

but, with the mods you have, and if you decided on a set of cams, i think you would be pleasantly suprised at the gains........

all the parameters that can be controlled.... especially with the right tuner......
