Best O2 housing?

Dose anyone have any experience with the Invidia O2 housing? What is the best quality/power producing one available? I have seen some really crappy ones from ebay. I do not want to do this Mod twice. The Invidia looks like it has the OE style support bracket. Most others don't have it.

The invidia is a great O2 housing. Also you might want to look at Titek as well. Both of those O2 housings are very affordable and in our opinion the best quality O2 housings on the market.

Power wise, these all make about the same.

I've got the megan o2. It's the same as Buschur's, just not ceramic coated, also same as the good ebay o2. I paid about $120 for mine.

i've been looking into this as well. personally, i'm looking at exchanging my stock for their ported/polished, but not looking forward to having my car down for the number of days needed to send and receive. so i've been looking at the ebay just as a temporary replacement until i get mine back from BR.

Dosen't the Works require you to run their downpipe? I had bought the Megan and resold it. The inside welds looked weak and the wall thickness is very thin.
