IPE Headers
I am looking at getting headers, and from doing research on these forums, the consensus is that Long Tube Headers make the most power.
I was going to get a set of DPE LTH from Australia, but they messed us around with paperwork.
So now I'm looking at other options. Unfortunately, living in South Africa, with our really weak currency, everything is very expensive. And all the headers from the States are over 3000 dollars.
IPE in Europe have quoted me for their headers and mid pipes, and although expensive, it works out cheaper than the others.
My only concern is that the IPE headers are mid length headers. How much power would I be giving up running mid length headers. Anybody here running the IPE headers.

Simple.... If you're after headers, don't be cheap, get true long tubes. You will regret it later if you don't. If cost is an issue then don't buy them at all.

I have IPE Headers.
Hard to say how much power you give up, but, the car feels great with them IMO. More than enough.
I got it with the full exhaust, and at that time, DPE wasn't responding to EMails, and IPE is the only other one that fits RHD from what I could gather.
I likely would've bought MBH Headers, but they didnt' say they had a RHD Version of them yet. I'm happy with my IPEs!

I've got my Friedrich Motorsport headers + midpipe a for $1600 shipped to the US. I installed them and went with an OE Tune. I couldn't be any happier. They're identical to iPE. The power is great and without fine tuning (still need to fine tune the mapping I have) I made 12.2 on 1/4 mile with street tires (only a tune + headers installed. Stock US airbox). Check them out, I saved a lot of $ to put somewhere else.
