Crawford or Alphawerks. The Crawfords are a bit more $$$ and almost twice as much to install.

Get the Crawfords if you want the best performance and money isn't an object...especially if you plan on doing other power mods. Otherwise, DC, Strup, and Alphawerks have all seemed to give good results...although changing headers w/o high-flow cats/testpipes and/or cams isn't worth much.

Crawfords ftw. Only CAD designed headers that are designed for maximum performance, not fitment, which is why they are a PITA to install. They require lifting the motor up a few inches and tilting it side to side to install. Equal length long tubes > all. Call Doug @ Crawford, he'll set you straight.

This is not true.

I bought and replaced my borla headers on this theory,

I went to strup and got... 1rwhp

Thanks *******s!

Borla is fine. Deeper than most for exhaust note.

I went cheap with Topspeed headers, but they've been great. Great fit/finish, nice looking welds, and basically a DC Sports knockoff.
