It's that time again! Help me buy my headers!!!
I've been reading up on which headers gives the most whp gains. So far Alphawerks is the most promising. I don't know much about the MMW, but that kit comes with the headers and the s-pipe, while the DC Sports, Megan Headers, and Alphawerks do not come with a s-pipe. I've checked over James_GSC thread where he dynoed the DC, Megan, OEM, and Alhpawerks headers.
I just need to know how I can eliminate the rasps everyone's been talking about. I don't know if my HKS Hi-Power axle back exhaust is going to make it worst or better. I also want to eliminate the CEL, so I would have to get an 02 simulator or do the antifouler trick, but I dont' know how to do any of these. Basically I'm a noob at headers, antifoulers, 02 simulators, s-pipes. So please help me and inform me. Thanks.
I also need to know how much each of these headers cost too. So I need links to the cheapest web sites.
Here are the cheapest prices I've found:
From Pro-Motion Tuning
DC Sports Headers: $317.95
Megan Racing: $219.00
Alphawerks Headers: $299.00
MMW Headers: $540.00
Strup Headers: $379.95

to get rid of some rasp, you can get a 30 inch resonator installed.... :-)
but yes your hks is going to make the rasp much worse than it would be with stock exhaust.
The antifouler trick is very easy and very cheap.... i dont have links, but do a search for "antifouler" and you'll find what you need. i saw some good how-tos on this site.
Ive ordered stuff from ptuning.com, hopupracing.com... creativecompacts.com is a good place too from what i hear.

Haven’t you herd mine not raspy isn’t it? I got a 30 in resonator on it helped out a lot. And I think for the price you should go for the MMW because of its gains and its not raspy like the others and you get the s-pipe.

Okay I have another idea. I think it's easier and cheaper if I get the Alphawerks header and another s-pipe. This would come out cheaper than the MMW header and s-pipe. 06SuperWhite_SoCal_tC had just told me that he got his MMW header and s-pipe combo for $651.75. I dont' think it is worth the money if it only gives the same amount of whp as the alphawerks with a s-pipe.

Just one more thing to keep in mind if you plan to S/C your TC. Alot of people bring up the idea of heat blowing seals on the S/C. DC is the only header that's ceramic which when produces less heat than stainless. I have DC headers, I love them and they were only 240 on EBAY. I'd recommend them for the S/C setup especially with the whole heat blowing the seals issue.
