Well After a few days of advice and discussion, i finally made up my mind and place an order for some new headers.
I wan to take the time to first thank everyone for contributing to some of the questions and for sharing your Ideas,Tips and Pics to me. I decided to go along with the WEAPON-R HEADERS.
Here are some of the reason,(this is not down playing Strup, just personal reason)
first; like some of you mentioned performance I felt that weapon -r delivered just a bit more, and it could be because there is more data out there to support it.
second; was the S-pipe that came along with the headers
third; would be the undisputed CEL eliminator, which like most of you stated (even Strup headers owners) that it was flawless.
I also really like the SS look even when it kinda turns goldish. So there you have it. I placed my order for all those items including a weapon r engine damper. I hope to get it soon and i will place some pics as soon as the install is complete. Im planning on installing it myself.
Once again thanks everyone!

Great job with this Daily XB!
its so stealthy looks just like stock headers!(but with painted heat shield) least likable to get popped by the cops!
Do you get any rattle from this due to vibrations?

Ok I like i promised here are the pics , The total install took me about 2 hours, Took my time and snapped some pics.
Here it is Stock headers with the
Heat shield is off.
Headers off
Comparison between Stock and Weapon R headers
S-pipe is off, here is a comparison of both,
All done,
Wait don't forget the alcohol
So there you have it, Im really happy with the results love the mid range power, With my CAI and exhaust the box is pretty quick now!!

Looks nice 
! If I were currently going header, I would choose Weapon-R (interested in midrange performance, not high end.) But I'm in no rush, so I'll take my time on this move ! Still, as I said, looks good !
Hey, mon! Looks good ! Will this couple directly to the oem scuba and Tsudo cat-back, or is something else required ?
Also, what is lost in dropping the first CAT?
