depends on how far your gonna continue i believe rmr has a down pipe rrm does not so i believe welding it on is required but someone will back me on the specs.

rrm will work with the turbo if you ever plan to go forced induction. that may be something to consider.

Neither has a downpipe FYI. I think they'll both work with RRM's turbo setup since they both bolt to the stock downpipe. That means same lenth (more or less) and same bolt pattern. I could definitely be wrong, but it makes sense to me at least.

i like them both
id et the roadrace in my opinion but thats me the road race guy

they aree both nice headers prolly just preferance

note the rmr header doese NOT have a flange for the heat shields
there for you could not bolt the turbo support onto the header so the turbo would basicly be suspended by a pipe witch isnt to good
so the rrm header would be the way to go on that other then that hobie is pretty much right

Given RR's nack for cleverness, I'm sure rigging a new support system wouldn't be terribly hard. Wonder how much I could save if I find a used and good shape turbo and get my hands on a cheap RPW turbo manifold.

rrm becuace they are the only realistic of the 2 when it comes to price, don't support rmr until they get real with some of their pricing, over 500 for an "axel back" exhaust, i paid 400 and got a full cat-back and thats with shipping just a thought

Let's not get to technical, especially with that last post (cerfur). Remember the difference between brand loyalty and naivety kids.

i think they both are equal . . . however, in result to this, the next thing to look at would be price . . . $379 or $500 . . . you decide . . . i'd go rrm (but then again, i'd probably go for rpw's header)
