Yeah yeah, another newbie posts about headers...

So I searched the forums and went through the last two pages of search results and didn't quite get the redux I was looking for.

Headers: PPE or Sikky? My ISF is a 2011 and I have Joe Z exhaust and K&N intake, so this seems to me to be the next logical step.

Thanks!

No difference. People will tell you that PPE build quality is better.. is all a matter of opinion. Gains are similar.

IMO, the PPE quality and fitment is second to none. Look at this thread:

Look at pics, then scroll down to post no. 13.

I have ppe headers and joez exhaust and both are a very high quality product and both have customer service that is by far second to none.

Both are great products ...but like said earlier from the pics PPE looks better built. Dynos seem to be the same as well

I have had sikkys on for 20k I dunno how anyone can say ppe fitment is second to none... The first 20 sets rubbed like crazy. Ppe has fixed the problem for everyone but sikky has never had fittment issues. Both made in the states both are quality products... ppe west coast and sikky is the east.... I made 40wheel from my sikky headers and have had no problems. Jason has the first set of sikky headers, which came out months before ppe had fitment or cel right. He's had them over two years with no issues at all.

I understand what they're website says, I'm just saying I've heard it more than once in a group of people that they are not made in house, I'm probably wrong but just wanted to point it out and see if anyone else has heard this too? If not then nm.
