Well, fitment will be as good as it gets...reliability will be better than the ebay cheapies and some of the mid-range stuff (AP stuff has split at the welds on one guys car).
The reason for going with the CSL headers is that as more dynos are released, we're seeing maybe a 5% peak power difference between the european headers and the Super Sprint $2,300 header setup and most of those gains could be coming from the cats themselves.
In terms of gains vs. AP, SGT, etc. (basically all the same stuff)...should be the same according to CPI. If there's a 1% delta, I don't care. Simply won't matter.
So for absolute PEAK N/A gains, guys can run Super Sprint, but If I can get 95-98% of those gains for a fourth of the cost with OEM parts...then I'll go OEM.
Plus, with pulleys, an airbox and a tune those deltas can be pretty insignificant overall.

You need to get lucky with a Supersprint header like I did... I got mine for $200 vs well over $1k new
That 1% delta at your current hp could become a lot bigger later... but if the gain stays at like 3-4hp it really does become insignificant.
How much difference will the headwork make? I'd love to see it with 288s, should be wild!
