which tubular header?

Well my stock exhaust manifold cracked :/ and im looking go get a tube header. I've heard about porting and coating a stock manifold but I just love to look of a header.

Anyways, I cant afford to buy the JIC or Borla headers. What are some good headers people can suggjest me? a big plus is if it comes (or i can get it installed) with a EGT bung.

Thank you.

PS I've searched, filled with lancer header stuff.

If you can't afford the Borla or JIC then you will not be close to the Full-Race mani (which I am lusting after myself).

Have you seen the new GT Spec header? It sounds like the construction is beefy enough to take some abuse.

Good luck.

A tubular header is more likely going to crack than a cast one.
