Noob issue. It's probably been asked, tried search. Headers are a priority this summer. I've narrowed it between two in very different price ranges, TOG's and SD. My application isn't planned to be extreme, but who knows. If a list is helpful, I'd like: YT 1.9's, DIY intake found here, and stock exhaust that needs a resonator from rust. Possibly drop pulleys to 3.2" eventually, but that's it.
TOG's need to be welded after the flex, and I don't know how to weld. That put's me out at the shop. Not a huge deal, but TOG's are expensive. Are they too costly and overkill for just clearing up stock KR and maybe going down to a 3.4" with a tune when I decide to pull and inspect the nose drive?
SD's look okay, and people say they hold up. I'm not too into the slip joints, but I wouldn't have an issue getting them welded either. What's up with these lately? I've read all over that they fit or won't fit since showing up on eBay. Have fitment issues been resolved on the 02 sensor? I'd rather not hear any clicking noise described. Would that need a replacement flexpipe right away to avoid having to go back and take it apart?
The cost is obviously a concern. I'd like to thank squiggles (I think) for this - "If you're sticking with stock exhaust I recommend SLP or the speed daddy one."
Thanks.
