Default Headers Decision? (first post ever)

So I've been searching through the forums lately trying to decide which header would be best for me (basically narrowed it down to two.) I've decided to either go with the Dezod Green Header or the Weapon R Header. From what I understand they both use a 4-1 design which is the equivalent to stock if I'm not mistaken, so losing bottom end torque shouldn't be a problem for either right? Basically my understanding is that the weapon r is showing slightly better performance results, if I'm wrong please correct me. Rasp is what appears to be the main drawback of the weapon r. So basically my main question is should I feel justified spending $600 for the green header when i can spend $340 for the weapon r? Any opinions will be much appreciated!

Well, they are actually 2 very different products simply put. I will briefly explain:

1) ours has a fully functional catalytic converter and Weapon R doesn't.
2) ours is made in the usa using the highest grade domestic raw materials while Weapon R is made in China.
3) ours offer a broader power band with gains across the entire RPM and not just peak gains. It's dyno proven multiple times over. See our site for dynos. I have never seen a Weapon R header, but I'd suspect that it doesn't make as much power overall as we do.
4) We've sold over 100 units of the tC2 green alone this year thus far. Tons of satisfied customers.

Pick your poison.

Thanks Paul, chances are I'll be picking one up soon. So am I correct in saying that the green header you guys produce shouldn't sacrifice to much of my bottom end torque?

We elevate the entire power band from 2500rpms until redline. No loss in power. See the dyno graphs on our page.

Just checked them out. I'm impressed, thanks for the help. As soon as I get the extra cash I'll definitely be ordering a set!

I was on the fence too, it's a lot of money for one part but anytime you can spend less than 100 bucks per HP it's a good deal. I think the dyno results show something like 8-11 HP gained. You can't go wrong. There's definitely a noticeable gain.

Enjoy

Thanks for the reply man! Just hearing you say the difference is noticeable makes me excited to order a set, headers and unichip will essentially complete all my bolt ons. 👍

Agreed. It's a wonderful, proven part.
