Which header to buy?

Hey all!

I'm curious what everyone's opinions/experiences are with the following companies' exhaust headers. I'll be purchasing one in the near future and I just needed some insight. If anyone knows of another company that makes a good header for under/around $300 LMK. Here are the main companies I am looking to buy from for now. Thanks

Weapon*R

Megan

Aspec

DC

. : Edit : .
I am only looking at street headers. I need to make sure I pass emissions. No more fix-it tickets for me!

all headers that have the short 4 to 1 design will pass emissions no problem. the cat is the majoring factor for emissions.

I should have my DC header in about a week, when its on I'll post my impressions. In looking at the configuration of the stocker next to the Megan and OBX, the differences are pretty small. The DC has a much more distinct 4-1 layout, we'll see what the means when I get it installed...

the only differance in the header designs is the tube inside diameter size and length of each indiviual passage way before it hits the collector.
