It is Motoria or SSAutocrome 4-2-1 header.
Wait until you find the package deal on ebay (includes their exhaust) which is a better deal imo.
Also Motoria is giving a GB right now for memebers for their exhaust (also on eBay) but it's very cheap here. I think you could include their headers with your GB purchase.
Check OddesitPashka's post about the Motoria exhaust and headers, pretty good for the price.

If you have money and want great headers go with the GT headers from Kspec.

It looks to me like the SSAutocrome 4-2-1, and I don't think it will fit up to your cat or exhaust w/o the test pipe because the cat is too long.

The header you posted in your first post will give you a "buzzing sound"
Motoria = SSA = OBX
These aftermarket headers are thinner than stock and allow more air flow (bigger) so buzz will occur. A good exhaust set-up will fix this (with high-flow cat, resonator, glasspack, non-see through muffler).

Not all aftermarket headers are buzzy... cheaper ones are. I'm sure ones that look better constructed (SR, MainTec) have more thickness, and therefore less buzzing. Companies like SSA used less material to make them cheaper and easier to make.

The coating is on the outside of the header and wouldn't really effect the buzzing noise much, if at all.

There was a thread about this a few weeks back. This is a better deal than other sellers with the same/rebadged header since it includes the exhaust manifold gasket, which goes for $35 from Hyundai.

And it is buzzy at certain RPMs. I can only imagine that their catback with testpipe and straight through coffee can muffler would make it 10x worse. I wonder if that built in silencer is hollow, or if it's a real glasspack. Either way I'd cut it out for a much longer glasspack.

LOL! Excerpt from auction:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:#000080"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:#000080"><span style="color:black">Fine tuned exhausts, and performance headers will make your Tibby Scream.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Alrighty, I have those headers but i purchased them from ssa and they cost me $100. The reason they buzz is because they touch a guard for the tranny. I've heard though that problem doesn't exist with their 4-1 headers. might wanna check that out. laugh.gif:
