I have not liked any of corksports products, just bad luck or crap engineering with them.

I had one, its was ok. My exhaust has no cats, so the header to factory mufflers was extremely loud. I went back to a factory exhaust manifold with a cat delete pipe to now a ebay 3" catback and its still more quiet than a corksport header, cat delete, and factory mufflers combo was. Even after going with the current setup that uses the factory log, the unreliable *** dyno says there is little difference.

I used to make headers at a shop years ago. Corksport's header looks good. To me, looks better than Racing Beat. Except for the price.

If I was looking for loud though, this would be the manifold to use?

Yes, headers are louder than the stock manifold. But they also should perform better. If anything, they should shed a few pounds.
But if the dyno can't detect a performance gain, why put up with the noise???

It's the style I'm going for in my vert - Low, Slow, & Loud. The Borla cat back, and no resonators or cats with header is what I'm looking for, so if the corksport is a reliable header, I'd purchase it. What hyeader would you personally buy other than the Corksport?
