IMO Weapon-R will provide more power but the ceramic coated Strup looks better. Strup makes hp/tq claims but the only dyno results I've seen were from Import Tuner. They got 7whp and 6lbs tq from the Strup.

very happy with my Strup. Aftermarket black cermaic coating reduced under hood temp. Remember you lose the cat when the stock comes off.

dont waste your money on a header buy a nos kit for a little more and make some actual power

But a nos kit plus a header would make even more power lol. Header is a safer bet cause Im going to assume the OP hasnt really researched or messed with it before. If power is your ultimate goal I would say dont waste the money on the header as well but if you just want a tad bit more and a cool looking underhood piece then go ahead with the header.
