Default where to find cheap comptec 4-2-1 header?

my car rattles at 3k rpm pretty embarasingly, so i've pretty much decided on getting a comptec tig 4-2-1 header, the cheapest one i've seen was on modacar.com i think they were selling for $460 + shipping
anyone know of any better deals. (groupbuycenter.com didn't have a group buy for that header)

Usually cheap and comptech don't go together. I found some
decent prices at http://www.autocarparts.com might want to check
them out!!

TIG Welded?

It's a different type of welding process that results in visually cleaner (and supposedly stronger welds), but I'm not sure if it has an noticeable effect on durability or power gains. It is considerably more expensive.

2 inches

Which leads me to believe there's some special gasket to allow the use of a 2.25" hi-flo cat.
