Band 4 Buck DC5R Exhuast

in order for OP's question to be answered appropriately we need to understand what his perception of "bang for buck" is....

i know we have a thread which has dyno charts for headers on the site somewhere... maybe a good way to do this is to measure HP gain per dollar...

Well, if you don’t want to tread the mine field & you want guaranteed results, yes…
Don’t get me wrong though, TODA is not the only manufacturer pushing out top shelf parts.
There are others & some really are very good…
I’m not about to start plugging them…
But I will go so far as to say none of them have yet been mentioned in this thread…

Back to topic, my point was back to bang for bucks,
If you spend a fair amount of money on something shiny that does very little to improve performance, the HP per dollar is far worse than a more expensive product that works really well.
So much so, that in many cases if you can’t afford to use the best parts,
You really are better off both in terms of performance & financially to not modify the car until you can do it properly.
I.e.: Do it once & do it right.

agreed Adrian... it would be great to convert a straight horsepower comparison to a HP/dollar

If the engine is internally stock it comes down to what you like the look of & sound better.
There really won't be any difference in performance either way you go.

bang for buck header id say would be the kidracing race header from Vteckid off clubrsx forums. Its pretty much an SSR header, i got mine to my door for $485 and got a 200 cell cat welded into the test pipe. gains are very good and has a nice note.
