16V headers, what's good/what to avoid/etc

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

IMO, the best 16V header out there is the Supersprint stainless header. 
Potterman is a Supersprint dealer...

It has a really cool flex system, where the upper and lower header is 
connected and allows for slight movement.

The Supersprint 16V header is a short tri-Y header that allows for a cat to 
be fitted, or you can use the cat-look-a-like resonator that Supersprint 
sells.
I think I have one of those resonators, but I have no idea where it is...
The CLALR can also be fabricated with a short TT resonator, A2 flange (I 
think), an O2 bung, and a short piece of pipe.

If you don't want to spend the money on the Supersprint, or if you can't get 
one, the TT 16V street header is pretty cool, but you have to run good HD 
engine mounts. The TT street header is also a short-style header, so you can 
bolt on a cat or CLALR.
