Yeah, $300 is wasting if you're buying a header.

I would go with either the Jdm Dc 4-1 w/2.5 collector or the Jdm ITR header. I have used both on my current setup!!

i've been looking at the jge tri-y header for my setup. Its priced pretty well at 460. I'm looking for a good header but not trying to spend 1200 on it.

theres a bunch of hype about the try y ebay header now, showed a dyno chart of like 18whp gain and 9 tq but i went with the ssr street sweeper and to me its the only way to go, save and buy a nice one........ smsp, ssr, anr something along those line even if you have to get it in mild steel

The best $300 header out there is the one you dont buy in order to keep your money and put it towards a good hand made header (SSR for example)

From looking at some dyno chart and setup on the All Motor Forum i say any 4-1 header with a 2.5in' collector.

Check out some of the setup, result, dyno chart on here.

You see 4-1 Ebay header (modified), JG Edelbrock modifed, DC , ITR , Megan, Vibrant , etc... that peform really well. If you have the $ then go for a RAGE, SMSP, DTR etc. but if not those other i mention should be fine.

Just my thoughts that all. Over all i guess it all depend on the setup and who tunes your car.
