Which headers are the best?

If you and others genuinely think I'm trolling, I'm happy to walk. Personally I think I bring more new information than most users here. The reason you, and others, get butt hurt at some of my posts, is because I don't sugar coat them. If I see bullshit, I call it as bullshit.

Calling bullshit when you see bullshit is fine by me, I do the same. Trust me when I say this, I'm not butt hurt, just tired of seeing unnecessary nasty/rude/useless posts. Like it or not, the majority of poster participating here are US based and to imply that other options available overseas are superior without providing supporting documentation is useless. Furthermore, your point about EL headers being superior to UEL while completely discounting how 98% of the members here actually use their car is silly.

Do EL headers make more power in the upper RPM range than UEL headers? Potentially, but I haven't seen any proof of that. What I have seen is dyno charts showing that UEL headers out perform EL headers throughout the entire RPM range (not to mention sounding way better, yes I know that is subjective). You can throw all you F1/Nascar/yaddayadda points around but its all moot if there isn't a single EL header available that out performs one of the cheapest UEL headers on the market (open flash header). That might not be an option for you since you are on the opposite side of the world but it is one of the best for the majority of us.

UEL FTW. Actually, let me rephrase that. Properly done UEL FTW!

I don't imply that overseas models are automatically superior, what I am saying is that they should at least be considering in these "what's the best" threads.

If you only want to consider US based items, that's fine, but say so. If not for your benefit, then for others who have the same question, and use search, but might not be based in US.

Completely fair and valid point.

With that said, we Americans are sort of in a black hole when it comes to having information (not to mention availability) of products not actively imported into the states. Since you've stated that JDM parts are cheaper for you, maybe you could step up to the plate and provide some dyno sheets of headers available there. Who knows, maybe someone would be willing to pay the duty and shipping costs to get something over here that just may be superior.
