Perrin. I like mine quite a bit. Quality is top notch and there's easily a peak gain of 15-20whp. Only thing is its really hard to find a vendor that sells them.

Can you show dyno sheets of that.. that's a pretty huge gain.....

Stay away from Borla.. the quality isnt that great and it sounds cheap. I have yet to find a header that I stand 100% behind.

This thread will be filled with people and their personal positive/negative experiences with certain companies. If you really want the best answer to the question read through threads and do plenty of research. There is no 'correct' answer to your question.

Wow, easily 20whp? Given a stock 86 is ~160whp on a good day, adding this simple breathing part nets 10%+ gains? Will you personally guarantee this?
