Default header question for my build

So i have been doing a few weeks worth of research and have found a ton of reviews and post's on what i have been looking for but nothing really answering my question.

I own a ej1 coupe with a b17a1. As of right now it has a light weight flywheel, 3" intake, itr intake manifold, cheap 4-1 smashed header, test pipe, and 2.5" exhaust.

I plan on doing a rebuild within the next coupe weeks that will just consist of new oem parts, but also a buddyclub thin head gasket which should bump compression a little.

Now to the question, do i purchase the new RMF Narrow header which i have read really nothing but good about, or something else i have kinda had been looking at, the Kamikazi header that has the 2.5" flange?

I have read the RMF makes great power even on stock motors, which mine basically is and will be, but i havent seen to too many reviews on the Kamikazi. the ones i have read have been good ones but have been mostly used with Superchargers. any thought?

thanks

i wouldnt go with the kamikazi unless you were planning to supercharge your motor maybe. I would go with the rmf.

Toda header if you are a baller, JDM ITR header if you are more budget conscious.
