Headers???
Okay guys probably been talked about before but here we go..... So I'm looking to get headers now that I have my OFT, so I'm looking to go either openflash headers or tsudo... My question is what's the difference between the cheaper ones and let's say tomei and borla... I don't see any difference... is it just quality, different materials, better welds?

if you want a cheaper tomei, get the gruppe-s UEL. it's nearly identical to the Tomei and even made in the same factory.

Yep You Summed that up lol
Some designs improves hp a tiny bit better but tbh not very noticeable in the details so in comparison maybe one brand of header will +1hp while another will -1hp |

The gruppe-s design is actually potentially better than the Tomei because the slip joints are switched to the other side of the piping, so they don't rattle against the underbody under specific conditions, like the tomei can.

I was one of the first ones to have the Gruppe-S header, and I'm still really happy with mine. Been used on my supercharged setup even for the past few months-no regrets

there's no difference between new or used, unless the used one is damaged. if there is a used one up for sale that is in good condition, then go for it. though regardless if you buy it new or used, I suggest you buy the oil pan heatshield. the new one will also come with the necessary gaskets and hardware while the used one might not.

BUT, Borla stood by their customers and got people replacements no questions asked. And the issues with the Borla headers have long been fixed. |
