Thumbs down J's Header or Amuse Header...

Both headers are wonderful and i've been watching a lot of Best MOtoring videos and i wanted to get a comparison on which is great. I know the FINISH on Amuse is superior to J's.. but in terms of performance, how do they compare?

I know the AMUSE does NOT have a O2 sensor hole, so that's a small problem.
I know the J's header is beneficial for the Ap2. It was almost designed for the Ap2, unlike the Amuse..

J's is bigger diameter piping throughout, which in terms increases power through the whole powerband. I'm gonna buy J's.

Amuse does have an 02 sensor bung. The issue is that it does not have qty 2 02 sensor bungs like the J's header. Most people only need qty 1 02 sensor bung, but there is a select few who need two (one for wideband 02 sensor and one for stock ECU 02 sensor)

Amuse was a torque header *Mugen style* last time I checked.

J's is a horsepower header which is more intended for boosted cars. It still gives hp for NA cars but people are seeing the most benefit with boost.

Not available yet...

CHECK IT...

From the literature it seems as if it is the cure-all... more torque down low with 10hp peak. I am not holding my breath though, I'll let someone else be the guinnea pig.

ok, to those who are somewhat less intelligent about car terms, what does the 2nd sensor exactly do.. in lay terms..
