I put a RB header and presilencer on my friend's car, and the quality was excellent.

I can't give you any hard numbers, but it depends on what you're running after the header too. I'm very pleased with the rb header and I only installed it today. It was $209 shipped, and definitely worth it. You will FEEL the difference. The exhaust note is more metallic than the stock manifold, but it sounds good.

RB headers and RB presilencer. HOWEVER, if you can wait a few weeks, I'm going to sell them. I'm having a turbo kit come in, in about week and a half and if you can wait a little longer after that while I start on the project I'll get them to you for good price. It's only been on my car for a little over a month so it's basically brand new. I don't push my car too hard since it's starting to be winter in Seattle so the road's a bit slick, but from the times I DID push it, it pulled really hard. There is ONE piece you should get if you do buy my header though, and that's the block off plate. It came with the kit, but I think I need it, I'll see what my friend says when I bring the car over, but from the looks of things, I might just keep it there. ANYWAYS, if you want a brand spanking new one, go for it, if you want one for good price but it's used a little bit, and can wait, then I got one for ya.

Peace,
AJ ^_^

PS: I don't have hard numbers for the increase in performance, but trust me, you'll like it. ^_^
