Just wanted opinions on what header would be better, the invidia stainless performance header or the berk technology high performance ceramic coated header, both are a 4-2-1 design, invidia is a 70mm exit and berk is a 63.5mm exit
All opinions would be appreciated thanks

 

Of the 2- Berk

 

Berk would definitely be better than Invidia, but I suspect OEM is better than both. I've tested several headers, including some exotics, and the OEM won every time.

 

I thought berk design is close to OEM headers ...

 

First I've heard that. I haven't done any research about the Berk header, but I think most people say it's a J's racing clone.

 

Why?

Brand? Welds? Fitment? HP? Have you compared both? I was just wondering since I'm in the market for an exhaust manifold.



I notice everyone has an opinion of products, but I rarely see facts/proof/data thrown around much on the forum. (This wasn't directed to anyone)

 

On my previous AP1 i had PLM header (welds were nice but it was on RHD so had to flatten one pipe a little not ideal at all but once it turned blue it was beautiful )
PLM is very similar to BERK its little noisier than OEM(lifter noise can be heard bit more) and butt dyno felt good in midrange (matched with 70mm TP and Q300).
On this second AP1 iam thinking about spending bit more money and either getting ARK or something nicer before i get rid of OEM header.
