With tubular headers you will get what you pay for and if you buy a cheap set for £200 or thereabouts there is every likelyhood they are made from very thin material and as many on here have found out they will crack at an early stage. Welding is not a solution as they will only crack again and you will end up putting on your OE headers or investing in a proper set of tubular.
There is another consideration in that most tubular header sets noticably reduce turbo spool and subject to the turbo you are using and your spec you may be better off with OE or OE ported.
Turbo headers will not fit a non turbo car.
Your best bet for a non turbo car is to port the OE headers.

Have had a look and the borla ones and japspeed ones do look nice if so abit expensive, alot of people seem to be buying the replica ones and have had no problems with them, i know you get what you pay for but why pay an extra £100 when it seems your just buying a name brand????

Looks like you you have had a very considered and informed opinion from harvey 
"Turbo headers will not fit a non turbo car.
Your best bet for a non turbo car is to port the OE headers".

Consider if you are buying for performance and long life or for some other reason.
If you buy cheap headers they are probably thin material that will fail in time. They are probably also designed for expedience of production and not performance.
Do a comparison on quality with the RCM headers for instance and let us know your thoughts on quality.
