As titled,

What's the best (a.k.a. cheapest) place to get a Hytech replica header?

Perhaps, I'm massively indecisive at the moment :lol: Then I take it out for a drive and want to keep it

Can't you get Solid Fab's manifold?? I thought that works out cheaper and it has better gains?

I try not to think about it too much. But sometimes it comes back to haunt me....

But then I got for a drive and it's all OK :twisted:

About 50 squids IIRC

@newkid had a group buy thread for them a while back. The import tax wasnt a lot. Also saw Htune were offering them for sale late last year albeit at a far higher price. Ive got newkids one on my lude now and its stamped PLM - which is Private Label Manufacturing based out of Canada. Hope this info helps. :)
