well from my exp. for the price the best bet is the obx header. you have the exoticspeed header but its over 1k. and w/ the1-3 hp gains they show w/ headers i would buy the 250 dollar header. ebay has the obx. but i may be wrong on the gains. so tell me if im wrong peeps

For that money, you're better getting a high flow cat, or engine reflash. While headers are a great mod on piston engines, and older 13B NA or SCd rotarys, for the Renesis it apparently hasn't proven to be cost effective enough for anyone of any decent reputation to build...at least not yet...
