SVT got that right, right from the factory.

Yes, leave it as it is. The best you can do is get the same thing coated if you are just looking for something different. As far as numbers go, stay with the stock header.

SVT header is byfar the best header you can get!

There's only one header setup that *might* possibly give you gains, but it requires other exhaust components. Not sure if they're still selling it, but Massive Speed has a JBA long tube header that deletes the cat and then you need the regular Zetec flexpipe to connect to it. You could have a universal cat welded into the "midpipe" that goes from header to flexpipe, but that's your call. Anyway, that could possibly give you hp because the header doesn't have any crazy bends in it like the SVT one. The collectors are also pretty big and it's 4-1 I believe.

Header designs were tried out numerous times when the SVT came out. The only thing that different headers did was move the power band around a little bit. No real gains. The stock is the best you can get....besides one that has a turbo flange on it.
