WTB: Evosport or Renntech shorty headers

Wanna pick up a set of shorty style headers, Evosport or Renntech would be fine. Just wanted to see if I could pick up a set used before I payed full price for a new set. PM me if you have anything.

Haven't done much research on the VRP unit, does it provide the same gains as the other shorty headers? PM me with a price either way.

I don't know if it is fair for me to claim differences between the shorties. Vadim used my car for the development so the posted dyno gains, etc. are all on my car. The set I have are the production versions but have been on the car. I am going with long tubes.
$1200 for both.

Don't want the extra sound to be honestly, i'd like to keep the car somewhat of a sleeper. The majority of my cars in the past have been catless and I really don't want to deal with the emissions dodging and such when it comes to inspections, etc. Even though i dig the smell of raw gas fumes

Responded, need to do some more research before I decide if I want the VRP units. The Evosport ones definitely look more well put together but looks can certainly be deceiving. That $1000 dollar price difference between the two sure does look attractive though, even if there is a 5 or so hp difference between the two.
