Default What header?

OK, im am totally losing it trying to figure out what darn header to get.
I like dc sport because they are a good company.
I like aw becuase they look nice and have a good gain in hp
I like megan becuase they seem to be cheaper
Im not gonna get mmw due to the price $850.00

Which one should i get, rasp is in the back of my mind but not so big of an issue.

Any thoughts?

I have the Megan.... Best Price and good performance...

The gains between them all are hard to really tell... but the alphawerks is beautiful....

Rasp is going to be the same on them all...

For me, it's between MR and Alphawerks... choose your poison.

HUTH05, I have the AW header with the K&N CAI, and it is a lil raspy when i first start the car, but the rasp quiets as I drive. The performance gain is good, I hit 80+ with no problem and it cruise with little to no true noise. I recommend AW, but have heard awesome reviews on the megan header as well.

So, for show and performance-AW
for price and performace- MR

To VA from my house is like 3 hours i would just rather pay the shipping. another question, with the zpi s pipe do i have to do the anti fouler thing. someone posted that there is no cel because zpi changed the location of the sensor.

The DC is great for a long time i had the header on the stock exhaust and only rattle during startup and revving but when cruising you can not hear it. But with the exhaust i have on it now it isnt to bad thanks to the magnaflow resonator.

But great mid range HP and torque. Definately pulls a lot better than before. Hope this helps

i have the megan header along with the s pipe and hks exhaust. performance gains are pretty good in the mid-high range. get's a little raspy on the high end. it looks great under the hood though.

So what do you guys do when you go to get your smog check with this header? Is there a chance it could actually pass? What about the CAI, do those cause it to fail too?
