Gruppe -s is likely the best bang for buck well made good fitment for less tha $500

those other headers are a bit ordinary in fitment and quality

I'd go with Gruppe-S very good quality header for the money.

Stay away from CNT. Mine started leaking at the flange (engine side) about a week after I installed it. This was with brand new OEM gaskets.

Save more and get gruppe-s/ofh/rev works used. The others are garbage

The general rule is without a tune, you will get a CEL light and not get the full potential from the header swap.

xcuz31 08-18-2016 08:01 PM

ah ok how about the OFT out of the box tune will it remove the cel of a header?

OFT comes with tunes for catless uel headers for 91/93/E85 fuels and oft tunes like all other tunes for catless headers will improve performance and disable P0420 cel code




you can run catless header without tune but you miss out on a lot of the gains and you will get CEL code which will disable Cruise control.


you can try o2 spacer in rear 02 sensor, but better option is tune






OFT info see here

ive got cnt and havent had much issue with it. had to beat it slightly with mallet to get one of the flanges on the engine studs on one side but i suspect that may occur with other brands as well. its been great for me being a budget piece. there is a thread or two with mostly positive reviews.

Also have a CNT UEL which worked great with no issues whatsoever. I took it off the car for a smog and will probably be going EL so I'll sell it. I rather enjoyed it while it was on the car and have no regrets.
