yup, i was going to buy a tomei header for my EJ207 but decided to go with something cheaper. tomei has a history of good products you can also purchase the header with a tuned ECU (JDM only).

they come with all necessary items including quality heat wrap.

DO IT!

as awesome as Tomei is...after seeing the fullrace's exhaust...my heart still lies with their exhaust setup...

this is off the internet...so its only pics from one of fullrace's staff as well as their comments...kinda pricey...but the materials they use plus the R&D they put into it as well...or you can just tag along for the ride
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...llrace+exhaust

APS up pipe


FR up pipe


and finally, a comparison of the thickness of FR 8 gauge forged stainless elbows compared to the average exhaust manifold material- 16 gauge 304 tube


their welding while cross purging

my guess would be it retains heat better and is stronger.........but the flip side would be it would be heavier.

definitely... are there any dyno charts proving that the FR ones win due to their expensive price tag?

don't get me wrong their nice pieces of art.

even with the cheaper headers on the market to gain heat retetion all one has to do is wrap or coat the header. it would be nice to see a comparison though
