Which UEL header to get
 
I intend to finish my exhaust soon. That being said I'm looking for a good set of headers that arnt too expensive and will give me that deep subie sound. I'm looking for opinions on the following uels and others not listed as far as quality for price and sound.

I have an oppurtunity to get the uel headers and front pipe by agency power for 900 shipped but have heard they don't produce the power that vivid racing claims and quality is apparently bad.

Borla UEL: read a ton of about an issue of quality and bad welds

1320 UEL: heard quality is fantastic but the low price bothers me

Tomei UEL: haven't heard any issues with these so far. When matched with berk test pipe sounds gnarly

OPEN FLASH UEL: not positive about quality and since I plan to get the open flash tablet this might be a good option

I have borla and for the price they are asking for them now not worth it IMO. I got mine really cheap and still regret it a little.

I vote go with Tomei.

If I were choosing between those four I'd choose 1320.

Check out the gruppe-s header. Great quality/price/customer service.

I heard obx is the best of both world

Get whichever one fits your budget. If you're tuning with OFT and using OTS tunes, it won't make a huge difference.
