Dude its obvious that you have to go with MMW, HANDS down!! Why even post a topic. :D Gotta go with the best set of headers out there. And don't forget to top it off with an axle back from PrecisionMuffler.com to control the rasp. :D

I have also done a lot of research lately. I have seen some Dyno sheets that say Alphaworks is better then Meganand DC Sports, on a bone stock TC. But, if you look at the Dyno numbers of the Supercharged TC's with the Megan header, they are putting out more HP and TQ then TC's with the same setup with the Alphaworks header. I then seen that MMW adds around 26HP and 24TQ, but they did not present this information very good. I can't tell if it is just the header and S-pipe that gives you this number or if it is the MMW header, S-Pipe, Intake, and Exhaust together that gives you this number. I do have to admit that tekisui is putting down 183.3hp/191ft-lbs with this header. But, then there is aarontrini85 running a 14.7 with a similar setup as tekisui, but has Megan Headers. I then see that somebody with a 5spd tc that ran a 10.405 in the 1/8th mile, after they put on the MMW header. I am currently running the 1/8th mile in 10.26 with only a Megan Exhaust. So I don't know what header to go with right now. I would like to see an independent dyno of a TC with a a full exhaust, crank pulley, cold air intake and a stock header. Then, I would like to see the dyno sheet of 4 different headers run on this setup. I would like to see the dyno on the DC Sports, Megan, MMW, and Alphworks. I think that most people that will be getting a header, they will also be getting a exhaust, intake, and maybe a crank pulley. If somebody could do this, it would clear all of this up. Could KillertC.com/GSCMotorsports.com do this test?

another thing to keep in mind: Remember that all hp numbers will vary from car to car. so what makes 20 hp on one car may only make 15 on another.

I also run the 1/8th, im turing 9.9's at almost 73mph with only HKS axle back and a Injen CAI. I also just ordered a MMW Header, Im hoping with I/H/axle back to reach 9.7 in the 1/8th. Then by X-Mas I should have Pulleys and a TRD SuperCharger. Im shooting for low 14's maybe high 13's by the time im done modding.

The MMW header had some fitment issues as well, but I didn't know that the Strup also had fitment issues? I think the MMW had been fixed though.

Hey 06 superwhitesocal_tC..do oyu go to irwindale dragstrip?
I've been about 3 or 4 times..and the best time's I could pull were 10 flats. I have a custom intake and trd axle back and a short shifter on stock tires. My rt's range from .506-.640.
