You get what you pay for. Since the header install will take 4-6hrs, do you really want to have to do it again when you find out your generic headers have cracked after 6months.

However...go for a brand you trust.

the topspeed testpipe you see there, they work good. I have them and been using them for more than a year now. No complain about it.

About the header, i'm not sure since the cost to install header quite steep. Just don't want somethign happen to it, then have to do it all over.

Bottom line: that topspeed testpipe you see there, they are good. GO FOR IT.

yes. Fitment perfect. Sound fine. cel light on and off. After few thousand miles, cel light didn't come up anymore.
