Default OBX vs. Strupp headers

Im ordering a header online today but thought i would get some opinions first. My first choice is just to suck it up and pay for a strupp race header. On the cheaper side is the 250 dollar OBX race header. looking to spend to more than 400 on a race header. Which is the best deal? Will i get similar gains? Please post any good deals you might know of. Im open minded to other setups. Also i would go 600 for a complete system if you guys know of any deals. HOOK ME UP!

I would look for a used stainless steel DCRH. There's a couple on clubrsx that are going for about $250 or so.
