you talking about those that are like 50 bucks? haha
actually headers are all about the fireing order of the cylinders, ever noticed that some v8 cars with headers have not even an EQUAL LENGHT header pipe?
which makes me conclude that not the cylinders fire at the same time, lets say NUMBER 1 fires, then NUMBER 3 fires , then NUMBER 7. so knowing about that timing is like winning the lottery if you want to maximize the flow and make the more power out of your headers.

The ebay headers work the best / look the best imo.

I used Road Races, the ebay headers seemed to function better than the rr ones.

No dyno sheets to prove it though

ive owned both the obx header from ebay and the roadrace header and the rrm header is by far a better header. your not gonna notice much of a difference from any header, let alone comparing the two. but the rrm header uses better flanges, flows better and is guaranteed to fit. with the obx header, they gave me a downpipe that didnt even clear the oil pan and was about 2" short. and when i bought that headed 4 years ago it cost $300. it was a complete waste of money in my opinion.

just my 2 cents

I have an Ebay Header($115 shipped) and I Put them on in my driveway at night with no fitment issues, and they sound and look better then my old $300 Kamikaze header....Not alot of power gain though of course.

Heres a pic of my "Ebay" header.






And as far as a CEL...I don't have one. I used a Spark plug defouler(CEL Eliminator) On My OBX HF Cat and now I don't have a CEL.
