Header clearance and performance for ITR?
OEM JDM '98 spec would offer the best ground clearance and fitment. The Toda(and perhaps the replica) also has great ground clearance but the authentic one is pricey.

My comments on the Toda style:
To me the 1320 version looks like the welds on the gussets at the top would cause interference with the flange nuts/bolts that hold it to the head. This is the reason the genuine Toda (and Tegiwa replica) only weld their corners. If I was being cheap, I would order the PLM TA (Toda replica) for ~$250 shipped. If I wanted quality, I would order the Tegiwa B-series (Toda replica) for about $550 shipped. If I won the lottery, I would waste a lot more $$ for the real Toda. BTW: Both replicas use the 98-spec JDM hanger. The genuine Toda (for $1200+) can be ordered for either us-spec/96-spec attachment or the 98-spec JDM. Though I guess a lot of people opt not to use this bracket since it's poorly attached (on all versions) and tends to break off over time. Personally I would just have a support gusset welded on If I got any of the 3.
