None, having any piping at all is restrictive. Just unbolt your entire exhaust 8)

Or you could use the Search feature

SMSP or Hytech will tend to provide the most power. You are looking at $1000-$1300 for a header.

The mild steel version of the SMSP, even in its curren design, is under $900.

I don't know when he's making more of these, though. He's in the middle of a long run of stainless B18 and H22 headers.

He asked for the most power. DC sports while good won't make near the power of SMSP, Toda, Hytech or Comptech.

Had he said most power for the money I woudl have suggested OEM JDM 4-1.

I think the those headers are too expensive for me. I was gonna get a toda but around $900 thats a bit much. What about the dc sports, comptech, or just a cheaper header. Which is the best for price. And does 4-1 or 4-2-1 make a difference?

needs to be 2.5" collector . . . Comptech is $995. I'd say JDM OEM 4-1

A 4-2-1 header will improve midrange power at the expense of some top end power; a 4-1 header makes excellent top end power but has less midrange punch.
