I'm actually looking at the Strups.

If you give me a nice answer, I'll open the drive-through again
haha

I plan on getting the Strups in the near future and I'll let you know the outcome! GOOOO USA!!!

I do not have any complaints about my Strup headers. It feels like I gained throughout the powerband.

I'm pondering on picking up Crawfords (might as well go with the best!), I'm curious on how it will work with the rest of my breather mods (Stillen intake/exhaust, Crawford plenum/high flow cats)? What are the Crawford headers like through the powerband?

Thanks for your constructive response though......

Thank you, drive through.
Stillen isn't cheap, and if they cracked that's probably an oddity. I've read about megan and cheap *** ebay stuff having problems, but not other stuff like Topspeed.

I vote for Topspeed headers. I've got them on my G35c, and LOVE them. Also sold quite a few of these to other members that love them too. You can see a few of their comments in my feedback on my350z.

You can get them here: https://g35driver.com/forums/questionable-posts/81406-fs-brand-new-topspeed-headers.html

Looks like I may not be able to afford the Crawfords. A lot people seem to be loving the Strup, those are still on sale, correct?

^Thanks for info. I'm really leaning toward the strup since I see a lot of love for them on both sites (plus the price is awesome!).

Any complaints about these headers tho? Sorry, got to look at the pros and cons of everything...

Since you retain your stock headers with using the Turbonetics S/T, how would these hold up and would they fit?

I was told that the Crawfords work well with the Turbonetics but they are consider more Long Tube than what the SSR, Topspeed, Strups and Alphawerks would be.

I would def. do some Jet-Hot 2000 coating and tape/wrap them up to keep the temps down in the header area for the Turbo.

What would be the best route with the Turbonetics Single Turbo.... SSR, Crawford, Strup, Topspeed, Alphawerks??

If you're going to wrap your headers, I would suggest you stay away from the cheapies. They are usually thin walled and by wrapping them you hold in the heat that can actually burn a hole in the piping (I've seen it happen). If you get some good quality headers you'll be alright.
