The stock header is already a "header" in case you didn't realize that ..... as opposed to a cast exhaust manifold as found on some cars ........ BTW, same story for "coil overs"

The amount of difference an aftermarket header will make is close to none but I believe many people enjoy the extra noise and sparkle under the hood. I say screw the new header. Just spray paint the existing one chrome and drill a few holes in it to make it louder! Keep in mind when you do go to purchase a header or anything aftermarket that when they give you a magical hp increase number it doesn't means that's on top of the peak hp or that it was on a stock engine.

this is true. I learned from obiwankanobi (aka RT) that headers don't really do much. I have the whole intake,header,high flow cat, exhaust and I really don't feel much difference. All said and done and about $2k later I actually feel like I haven't gotten much better. Not to mention he's quick to point out your "JDM BLING" when you got him messin' around your engine bay. LOL I'm actually thinking about going back to stock and starting from scratch.

Expensive but worth every penny! All their headers are hand built to each specific car.

And still cheaper than Toda or J's
