define "best"...cheapest price? best quality? what do you mean?

And what do you mean by "better" headers for the SC? You already have some and want to upgrade? Better than what? Your question is kinda wide open for all kinds of responses.

well i know a friend of mine with an m3 had trouble putting on his heaers because he had to remove so many things in order for it to fit so he just returned them..

when i mean the best i mean the one that will give me the most hp gain without spending an incredible amount of money although not one that is so cheap that won't do anything.. and also in terms of installation.. i am expecting to purchase headers that i cant bolt on without removing anything

i know for best hp gains i should remove catalytic converters which i will probably do.
thanks for your time i appreciate it

Well, only speaking for myself, I plan to go with XERD Headers for a couple of reasons. For one they're a Southern California company so I can pick up the part pretty easily and also get help with support if I need it. The second reason is that they have a good reputation when it comes to headers for the SC, their installation is supposedly pretty straight forward and their results are also supposedly dyno proven. I believe you gain an extra 17 horses or so with their headers. Now, add that to an SAFC and an exhaust upgrade and you're looking at a noticable gain in hp. XERD is the only header I've been researching recently so you may want to gather more opinions, but this is the company I plan to go with. The header is about $300 I believe.
