What kind of header to use?
Well Im doing the basic upgrades to the car. I have the exhaust, I have AEM cold air intake, possibly getting the "amuse" style lip, and now im looking for possibly doing a header.
With a header will the car be louder? Im trying to avoid a weed wacking sound. What kind of performance do you expect out of it? What price range should I be looking at? Finally what kind of header would be the best to go with? If not a header and I dont want to spend that much? Where do I go from here? Exhaust, Intake, now what?

Headers are always compromised in some way, and save weight.
Mugen header seems to give good mid-range gains, especially around 6k RPM, where it almost makes 10 more hp. You save about 4kg.
Spoon seems to gain a little low-end, lose a bit mid-range, then pulls strong towards redline. I'm not sure about the weight on that thing though.
Amuse header has a very similar design compared to the Mugen. In fact, I believe they took the design of the Mugen, and tried to improve it's top-end performance by means of larger piping at the end. They claim the same performance gains as Mugen as well. You save almost 6kg.
I don't know too much about Toda, but according to Wantone, it is very nice.
He did a review on it, so you may want to check it out.
The car will sound different with a header swap.

How much do Spoon and Toda headers go for?
