OK I'm finally ready for the last piece of my bolt-on palooza. I have AEM V2 intake, Apex-i N1 exhaust, Skunk2 68mm TB, Blacktrax Stage2 IM, AEM Tru Power pulleys, Test Pipe, and MSD Cap, Coil and wires. With a DC sports Stainless header and VAFC I dynoed 184hp and 152tq. I have a Greddy Emanage Ultimate coming Monday so bye bye VAFC. Now i need to replace the last weaklink the DC header.
I know the top 2 are Hytech and SMSP I also know they are impossible to come by and $1200-$1300 apeice.
There are 3 other headers i'm more interested in. The 3 listed above.
I have an SH, if I had a base i'd prolly get a Vibrant and call it a day.
I haven't seen the T1R available for the SH.
The other are custom made so prolly getting them a lil longer for an SH won't be a problem.
In all the header tests and dyno comparasions that are posted these 3 are always noticably absent. What's the word on these headers. Which would you guys recommend? I really don't want to spend more than $800 or so. Thanks for any info.

dont use pm, the info is useful here...

i never heard of t1r
i heard the kteller doesnt fit perfectly if i remember correctly

looks liek rmf for at least 800 is the best bet

out of the three in your title, you can't go wrong with either of them. of those three I would go Kteller (little cheaper) rmf(beautiful design). I've never heard of t1r. I know there are plenty guys that make there OWN header(s) out there so that's probly just another person trying there thing.

Do you have any other plans for your motor or will that be as far as you will go? It seems you want to keep ATTS cause your still OBDII if your using a vafc or greddy emanagement. Reason why I ask is because from observation of dynoes with h22's with bolt-ons these custom headers don't make lots of power. you have head work to see them come alive. I.E. Cams higher compression etc.. etc..

With that being said and you have 800 bux to spend on one. I would look into RMF and Kteller...

P.S. all those choices you listed are WAY better than DC.

Randy doesnt make the narrow version for the lude anymore, only the drag version. He also just got settled into his new shop in CA and has some catching up to do on headers. I've got the narrow version now and its my favorite mod of all. I should have my drag version soon once he gets caught up with everyone elses shiza. stainless > mild steel :)
