Default Opinions on headers for 11 370z nismo

I have a 2011 370z nismo and im waiting for my AEM CAI to come in but i'm looking to get headers for it also. Right now im looking at Stillen, PPE, and F.I headers. However, i want headers that wont be too pricey and will have a nice sound with good gains. What are your opinions on which headers to go with?

I feel all headers make a nice sound. But if you want the gains, go with the long tube. FI seems to be the jack pot IMO. For what you'd get, the price is more than worth it. I'd like to have some. But not sure what direction I'm going in for the future. Ours cars are pretty sweet with all the basic NA mods and a tune. But going FI......thats another story.

I know there were power losses when people tested the stillen headers, but does anyone know if a tune would have made a difference?

If you price the stillen headers make sure you price some test pipes to go with them. Just get the F.I. or ppe if you want to be happy in the long run.

Get the FI. From what I've seen here they make a great product with pride. Along with great customer service. Not saying the other company is bad.

A lot of exhausts have two tips per muffler. I wouldn't really call that a quad exhaust though, it's just the tips.
