That is exactly what I was going to say. A few of the right tweaks when building a motor and or going through a fresh one I have seen make 12whp on a DE motor before. But its nothing simple by most standards.
This budget header was designed for a stock VE motor with n1's and no more. the 4-1 headers that I make, whether the non stepped or the crazy stepped megaphone header CAN both outperform this header easily if the setup is fully tuned and setup correctly. The 4-1 headers will respond most with more accruing mods to the motor. such as larger cams, head work, displacement and so on. The 4-1's can and will make more power WHEN SETUP CORRECTLY with the mods of the motor. They however are a lot more money and out of most peoples price ranges.
the Base 4-1 mild steel non stepped header I do not have any more but I believe Greg V has one left for $850. This is the best all around header. Very SIMILAR to the header that Andreas Miko has on his SE-R. The stainless steel version of this header is $1250.
I also make the killer stepped, megaphone/reverse cone header custom spec'd to your motor. this header starts at $1500, and with the individual flanges, starts at $1690. This is the same header that I make for Mike Kojima. This header comes with a V band at the end but no mid pipe. I can make this header in mild steel for $1300. Coating optional.
