yup, he makes them, I sell them. I have them in hand and ready to ship for $15shipped. If you're buying the header from Protegegarage.com it's only $12shipped. Let me know if you need one.

i think we've about beaten this topic to death but I don't think anyone can justify the extra $200 on the RM header as opposed to the OBX. If it were me (and I've done this), I'd just buy the OBX and MIL and be done with nd save yourself $185 for something else. Check out protegegarage.com and see if Ken has any special pricing on the header right now.

4-1's are better anyway in my opinion. Just get a nice big midpipe.

sorry guys, im all about torque, and 4-2-1s give more torque, even if it is only 2 - 3 lbs more. im looking for a real nice 4-2-1 and there used to be one on ebay. too bad its gone may check back in a few weeks

if you can show me a comparison dyno graph where the $400 4-2-1 made more power than the $200 4-1 I'll gladly give you my blessing. However if you're willing to pay $200 for 2-3lb-ft you'd do better to just give me the cash and I'll clean out all the crap in your car that is dead weight. It would be a bigger improvement.

p.s. the midrange torque difference between the two is only SLIGHTLY distinguishable on a dyno. In the real world you'll never tell the difference.
