Dunno, they're probably fairly similar. HVE has been in the business of making Accents fast even before there were Tiburons; they currently own probably the FASTEST N/A Excel (Australian name for US Accent) in the world.
Given their time and expertise in the field, I would generally suggest HVE.
HOWEVER wink.gif
Because they're in Australia and shipping has to be done by the crappiest of crappy delivery companies (EMS International Couriers, *shudder*) you might consider the TeamSR part. The extra 1-2 horsepower you may get from the HVE part may be outweighed by waiting for a month as EMSIC tries to find your part they lost somewhere over the Pacific ocean sad.gif
Been there, done that, kinda pissed me off.

I'm not 100% sure on the accent headers, but I know on the Tiburon Headers, there is no flange welded on the HVE units. The SR Unit has that flange. (You use the flange, a gasket and a coupla bolts to connect the various exhaust bits together).
Since the HVE Headers don't have that (for the tibby anyway), it's an additional expense at the time of install to have your local shop weld one one.
Also, the SR price is shipped to your door. You might want to find out how much shipping from HVE is going to be to your door, and factor that in.

I would say go with the SR 4-2-1 header when I ordered mine it only took five working days to get it and only a half hour and some hand tools to install. The only thing is you might have do drill a hole and weld in a bung for the o2 sensor if you have two of them but other then that it will bolt right in even to the stock exhaust but I would recommend an exhaust upgrade as well with the header.
