I believe that the price per whp/wtq gained is prohibitive.

I've got a set of invidia EL headers that I might put up for sale soon.

Located in Sacramento.

I appreciate all the help, I guess Im still not sure if its worth buying one or not. I really don't want the "boxer rumble" to go away or soften up. I was looking at either the Perrin or the Invidia one. Anyone know if the Invidia header is good or not?

I've got the Invidia EL set(wrapped and banded). Had the Catted Downpipe(wrapped and banded as well) on the STi, sold that to SLUGRX on here. He's been happy with it....as far as I know.

The "rumble" will go away / soften up... but the power negates that. Personally...I think the "zomgmegaboxerrumble" is the main reason our cars get profiled, when coupled with a aftermarket exhaust/tune.

Between those two options, go with Perrin.
One piece headers are difficult to install.

Plus, $1000 for less power does not compute.....

The price per whp/wtq gained is prohibitive; the $$ is better used on other mods.

My opinion is based on experience & science!
but a lighter front end!~!!!
