Back to your question, I don't recall or ever hearing of another manufacturer making headers for the ISF other than Sikky & PPE here in the U.S.

Could always hit up ARH. They made headers for the E92 market, don't see why they wouldn't offer the same for our market.

I see you're in Florida. Why don't you hit up LHT Performance and see if they could be something for you? Their work is top notch.

Before going with Sikky I went to a shop here specialized in turbo manifold and custom headers fabrication.
Was quoted 1400$ in material for top quality collectors and another 1500$ in labor.
Didn't really make sense compared to production headers like PPE and Sikky.

Exactly! Why reinvent the wheel when a ton of R&D has already been put into creating a quality set of headers for our car. In the end, you are probably going to get a product that is very similar (if not the same) as whats already on the market, but for two to three times the price.

Yes and No.
This was for an equal length setup. Which at the time was more like a Novel.
Fit quality on the Sikky was also "pretty normal" and with a custom one these aspects are taken care of.

The PPE Long Tube Equal Length header is as close to custom made as you'll find.
