RennTech or Kleemanns Headers ?
Hmmmmm – what to choose?
First of all; I need cats – In this country you have to go for control each year and the cats are a necessity but I would dare a pair of sports cats – 200 no less.
I have been told that if I chose Kleemans headers, then I will have to combined them with sport cats but if I take RennTech headers, then I can keep my original cats - these two set-up will give the same output in power …….. but why?
RennTech headers are a direct bolt-on to my original cats but the Kleeman’s requires cut + welding.
Which to choose?

Headers …. yes …. been thinking of Kleemans + sports cats but that will mean cutting and welding - not that the job is the problem but …… you see – if my car can’t go through the control (every year) then I’m left with a car I cant drive ;(( and a lot of work … again …… so when thinking a little ahead then I think the smarts will probably be to go for Rentech … they should go direct on my original cats …. and Eurocharge tell me the gain in power will be the same as Kleemans ???????

i don't think the thread you posted is really an indication of the quality of header. i know nothing about plm but it would only take about 20 seconds to repair that little damage that looked like a shipping thing. i never understood why people would go through shipping back and all the wait time for such a small thing.
before i found the literal steal on my lth's, i was looking at kleemann pretty hard. would love the mbh (which luckily mine are atleast comparable now) but at the same price of new wheels, twice the cost of a lower pulley and tune and all the other stuff, it was just hard to justify till it was potentially just the last thing once you had everything else.
not sure if you eliminated the kleemann downpipes, you would have room for a cat in that area?
