Continuing angst... headers today...

[billschroeder5842]

I'm still exploring my angst on some "light" upgrades; plenum porting, headers and a great tune. I do value the opinions of those what are actual users.

My question today is on headers. What is REALLY the difference between some of the major manufactures? There is a pretty good size pricing differential between SW and OBX and other, although all users swear by them.

My priorities are:
1) fit and installation ease; must fit to factory pipes as I'm keeping mufflers to reduce drone.
2) overall quality of constructon
3) performance gaines. yep, it would be nice to feel a pop
4) sound, tone as I'd like a bit more sounds but drone is a no-no

I'm a pretty sane driver, no race tracks but any freeway on-ramp is my own personal 1/4 mile. "flow at all costs" is not a thing as a couple of HP difference is not going to cause me to sweat.

What is the BEST value? Thanks!
