Red face Headers

Which one of these headers is the best. Which has the best performance gain most importantly. Also, which do you think is the best value.
Thanks,
Anthony

Isn't the new J's Racing Header supposed to provide the largest gains? IIRC there was a thread where the car dyno'ed 20whp more with the J's Racing header. The car also had a catback exhaust and intake but otherwise was stock.

The search engine is being a slow pig today so I can't find the thread ... but it was a thread about the new header and also a 3" catback exhaust. There were dynos with the stock exhaust manifold, a "normal" Invidia exhaust, and Mugen intake and then just the J's Racing header, a "normal" Invidia exhaust, and mugen intake and finally there was one with the header, intake, and a 3" exhaust.

I'll update if I ever manage to find the thread.

From what i have been hearing, the new j's header is making very good power. I believe 8hp, but don't hold me to it. Im also not sure if this claim was made with stock exhaust & cat or after market exhaust. I may end up buying the j's header, it's quality is very well made.

Other than the j's, the amuse is an awesome header. I plan on going FI in a year or two, so im not going to use the amuse because i am not sure if the titanium header will hold up for the FI extra power. I know the amuse exhaust have broken with SOME FI applications.
