CA's header is the best bang for the buck IMO. Its what I've been running for about a year and a half now.

yeah i just put mine on 2 days ago, its got a gasket leak but i can fix that easily with some stuff from autozone and i just ordered a new gasket. so how long will it take for me to start feeling the real gains from this? ive noticed a little bit so far but not too much, will it really come alive when i get the gasket thing fixed?

The JBP Vortex is a great header. It just is not worth the hassle to get it.

Challenge #1: Actually getting the header
Challenge #2: Installing the header
