The cheap ones mostly are simply replicas of those expensive brands... the only difference may be the metal quality... The more expensive ones may look good for a little longer than the cheapo ones and due to the quality the expensive ones may have 1 to 2hp extra... thatz bout it..

Whats the fastest 2.2/2.3, even on nitrous... 14s? 
(Not counting turbo, cause thats a whole different story)
(And hybrids don't count either...Since we're just talking about the f22a setup)
Most cars do that stock nowadays.

I have seen dyno charts on a board, might have been this one, of headers before and after. They actually lost A LOT of low end torque/power on a 4 cyl engine, and didn't gain until high in the powerband. Basically, there was a loss throughout until the almost shift limit/red line. I remember them being bad quality though, can't remember what name.....

pls. answer..
ok guys... so most of you are saying that getting a good set of headers and a good catback exhaust systems are not worth it for a 2.2 CL? Please let me know.. thanks..

Probably... not worth it if you HAVE the extra cash for swaps or turbo... However... for couple hunder bucks... and if you're just working with what you have then the gains I belive are well worth the money!!
Again... your talking about spending couple Gs vs. couple hundreds....

all of the headers for the f22b series and f23 series are interchangeable.
