Locally made headers vs. Branded headers

[Chernoby1]

Just a Quick little question id like to add:
Lets say you changed the internals (piston/cams/rods/ect) would you be better off with a custom designed* header than lets say a 'tuner' header?

*Designed and not 'made' for a reason. Lets say you did some testing and calculations aswell rather than 'lets do a 4-2-1 with nice looking bends' :P

The header should always be designed last. Bottom end followed by the head, followed by the intake which depends on cam and header which evolves on the whole setup.

barefootbonzai is right, it was retarded of you to post in the first place without FACTS, which seems to be quite common here.

In my opinion about headers , its all depending on how much budget you wanna blow.
You can spend anywhere from $400 for a start ( x force header ) up to $2k or so for US made SMSP , Hytech , ANR , DTR/SSR.
