Default Thinking of buying a header - which one?

Hi! I'm thinking of buying a header for my S, and the ones I'm thinking of is the Megan Header which will cost $395 included shipping to Norway, or the Berk header which will be about $100 more. From what I have read, the Megan makes 5hp (not sure if this is with or without TP) and the Berk makes 8hp with the TP. What I have done so far is Injen CAI, Berk TP and HKS Hi-Power. What's your thoughts? Is the Berk worth the extra 100 bucks?

i got the berk header. its a quality product.

My butt dyno tells me that midrange is a little stronger and throttle is more responsive. All i got is a Berk header and K&N air filter.

i have a berk header, berk test pipe, and comptech intake and the berks peice is really nice. if your gona do it, do the test pipe at same time. adds a nice growl to the exhuast and you feel some powa.

the Berk also comes with the option of a quality ceramic coating that will help keep your underhood temps down. the Megan isn't compatible with a heatshield AND doesn't have that ceramic coating.

At the moment, I'm leaning towards Berk. I also have the Berk TP, and I'm very happy with that one as well. Does anyone have a pic of the Berk installed in their car? Really like the thought of the polished one..

Is the Berk compatable with the oem heatshield? How hard is this to install, just unbolt the cat and the header and bolt the new one on???
