The headers on the nb8b are pretty good already.

They also have the cat in the headers as stock so I doubt you would be able to get a non cat version.

I have wondered this myself, as I have seen several very good deals come up on used sets of the pre-update Maximworks headers in Japan but the one with the cat is always hugely expensive.

Rev9 have some 'interesting ' prices.

$279 for a bare silicon intake elbow http://rev9autosport.com/nopro-high-flow-intake-elbow.html

$265 for a shift knob.. http://rev9autosport.com/arc-titanium-shift-knob.html
and
$225 for a set of wheel nuts... http://rev9autosport.com/rs-watanabe-lug-nuts.html

yet their Enkei RPF1s seem reasonably priced...

The difference is that the elbow is made by NoPro, the gearknob by ARC, and the wheel nuts by RS Watanabe, all "JDM" brands.

And for some reason people love to pay stupid amounts for Jap brands, even for something like a $20 silicone elbow that you could get at Autobarn.


Personally I've never seen anything on Rev9 that I consider well priced.
