Thanks for info.
I am based in EU, what are my options?
Comptech, Top Speed and DC Sports are all good options and share the same profile. NA2 is always a good choice too. Pride V1 is also excellent. Pride V2 has fitment issues. I would talk to Adnan at AS Motorsport or Christian at ATR Parts. They should be able to get you what you need.

Whats the current best availabile option for 95 stock car, I want more sound, but no drone, thinking about NA2 stock headers or going SOS.
The NA2s have a very refined sound and provide a good power to noise ratio. A good set of aftermarket long tubes will provide the most gains but nothing that will blow your pants off. Aftermarket headers will sound the loudest. I use RF Yamamoto headers myself.

There seems to be nothing for us NA2 owners though. Unless I change my whole exhaust setup which would be prohibitively expensive...
Comptech will fit NA2 no problem, at least to 1999.

'98, different headers, sorry.. Looks like I'll have to get custom ones fabricated somehow.
The Comptech 95-99 I linked will fit your 98. Call Shad and he can get you a set- no custom work needed!

Didnt know these were actually available, thought everything Comptech was discontinued a few years ago.
Also I'm looking at a real merge collector solution - currently using the old SoS set (newer one had a merge collector) with no ceramic coating, which was a mistake (also got a pinhole leak which I'm trying to get repaired...). RFY and such have a proper merge design but none of them will make headers for NA2 not even a one-off (I asked !).

Shad bought the CT assets so Driving Ambition is the new vendor for all CT products. As you know, I am a fan of their headers due to the absolute perfect fitment.

Have had my CT headers on the car since it was new in 1997. Perfect fit and proven longevity.
contact Shad!

As many have said there's about......

For any big motor build there isn't really a header made out there with larger ID pipes. The largest one was made by LoveFab. I've had a WTB ad for this set for a while now.

Headers I personally would not buy:
Pride
TopSpeed
OBX

Headers I'd buy:
Lovefab
Fuji
RFY
GT-One (old RFY design)
Comptech/CT/SoS/Cantrell (but only if I was FI)

@RYU
Can you please advise. You mention here that the LoveFab headers are for big motor build. So you mean that the design is not good for a regular 3.2?

Was this set designed for 3.5+ L stroker WITH things like ITB or SC to make more power?

Will the design help/hinder daily use and occasional track time?
