Cool headers any one?

well my quest for headers is still going no where. i've seen many nice headers but not enuff to stake my claim. i'm asking you guys your opinions on what you think is the best made header around. i've seen hks' exhaust mani and i want something better. a work of art. something preferably japanese made and one pieced by hand if possible. if you all know any crazy headers out there where price is really not a concern lemme know - i'd like to see them and find a header to purchase!
peace.

Any of those equal length headers are very different looking.

headers

I have gruppe-s wrapped headers and they are awesome. They dont rape your wallet either. My philosophy, no matter how much money you have, why pay more when you dont have to.

I have the gruppe-S wrapped headers also, and I love them, and they were 400 bucks cheaper then the next set you could find, with an up-pipe included.

I have the fujitsubo super ex. Its a real nice piece and it came with all the neccessary pieces and it has a built in up=pipe. Made a nice difference in performance for me. Wasnt much more expensive than other companies, i got mine shipped for about $950.

I keep hearing that if you get headers it will eliminate the boxer rumble and make your car sound like a honda civic. Is this true?

only if they are equal length headers. the gruppe-s ones that I have are unequal length like stock. The boxer rumble comes from the uneven distribution of exhaust gasses from the headers. The passenger side pulse gets to the turbo faster then the driver side pulse, making the car sound like it's missing a cylender. equal length headers have extra bent tubing on the passenger side that makes it the same distence to the turbo, making your car sound like a honda.
