please do not buy knock off headers,when it is rusty in 30 days,poor fittign and the welds break on it you will wish you saved another $40 and go something good.

DME and DC area great headers that stay in good condition for a long time,MMW and Tsudo also do great,there are of course others out there,and reemmber if you install a header,be ready to dump another $100 in to resonators and welding from muffler shop.

depends on how bad it is I guess. people go from 10" to 24" aero resonators. I actually need one now that I got another axleback

Just to throw into the mix - i bought one of the cheap knockoff headers for like $80 shipped on ebay - ran it for 3 months while i was n/a with the new motor in until i got the new turbo

It held up great no cracks or anything - welds were actually pretty damn good - only thing was the coating started to come off on the bottom where water n stuff constantly hit it

Not bad for $80 shipped header
