Have a look at the WMS headers (Williams Motorsport), at £250 delivered theyre half the price of RCM and I know of several rally cars running antilag on them without issue. Thats proper antilag mind you, not just a poppy farty noise.

Poor quality in comparison to the GT Spec ones, that is what we found on the set a friend purchased directly from WMS (design may have changed since as it was about 18 months ago). In regards to sound changing mostly due to going from a cast manifold to a stainless steel one

Ok that makes sense so any after market headers will be the same. Out of interest what sort of power are std ported headers good for. Thanks
