Default Best na header

Just curious as to what people think the best na header is, in the uk we are very limited on products and all our good stuff comes from the states, but until we ask or see it we never know,

Funny how like 80% of the world's legit race cars come from the UK, but you guys have such a limited street car market.

Anyway, you're gonna hate the answer, but someone will say it. There's no such thing as "best." Closest would be to have one custom designed for your setup, but even then you have to compromise one trait to exploit another.

Tell us more about your setup, what you use it for, etc. etc...

Drag? Auto X? Daily? All that plays a part in the choice. Best all around...probably the Toda rep for a budget header. If you have some cash to spend there are custom options that you can tailor to fit your needs.

Check out burns stainless you can contact them with your engine/car and they will build you a custom collector and give you the diameters and lengths for the rest of the header. That way you can order the collector then have it shipped to you for a lot less then have the header built over there.

It's a track day car, yes tell me about it, everyone says they have a "race car" lol as for doing research.... I am fed up reading threads on bullshit bhp figures bla bla, I find the Best way is to ask people who have done it and are in the know.... I could read endless threads on headers, each claiming that they have the best header..... Think we need to make a sticky rating headers, cams etc

Contact LHT performance they can build you a top quality manifold for your setup! Thats probably the "best" header you will find (custom) might not be the cheapest but other than that theres tons of aftermarket manifolds online but again like they said it all depends on what you do with the car and what the setup is.

By "don't have a budget" I'm guessing you mean "money is no object." If that's the case, find whoever is the most legit header builder in the UK- I'm thinking it will be the guy who builds the headers for McLaren's F1 cars But seriously, custom header would be the way to go if you can part with all that money.
