Question What headers to buy?

Hey what's up guys! Glad to be part of the ft86 forum. Great information all around. I just picked up a raven frs about 2 months ago. I just broke 700 miles in. I am thinking about getting headers? I was looking into Borla UEL Header but i am looking for something in the low 400s. Something inexpensive but reliable. Would you guys even recommended headers at 700 miles? and if so which ones? Thanks again! FRS <3
And also i know I am a noob for asking,but any recommendations on aftermarket parts i should start adding to my baby? Never hurts to ask

OpenFlash headers are $625 since I'm assuming you haven't purchased an OpenFlash Tablet for tuning yet. Those are the lowest priced quality headers I've seen for this car, and as of now I wouldn't bother with anything cheaper.

True. I just saw a clip on it on youtube. They sound beast. Thank for the recommendation! I'll just save up a little more to get them :]
