I have been spending alot of time thinking which brand of headers I should go with. Now I know Chip and some other people are all about the RPW stuff...and they seem good to the untrained eye. But then we have the Kamikaze headers and a couple other brands. So I asked my friend who works for a mitsu performance shop in Chicago...they do nothing but Eclipses 3kGT's, Galants, Evo's etc. Anyways...My guy Vinnay has a 3kGT VR4 that runs 11's on street tires and pump gas!! So they know whats up...they have spent time taking apart mitsu engines and finding out what makes them work to their peak efficiency...
So I posed this question to him...What headers would be best for the 6g72 engine. And if neccesary what AFC or other parts would be neccesary to get them to work the best? This is the Email I got back from him...keep in mind that I didnt mention any brands to him what so ever...I said go out and find me some headers...

This wasn't the easiest question to answer as I have not seen many Galant aftermarket parts around. But I found a few sets of headers and from what I saw on the websites and from what I have seen on 3g Eclipse v6's this is my "expert" opinion on the subject.
There is a company out of Australia called RPW(www.RPW.com.au) that seems to have this stuff down cold. Their Race Design Header for the Galant looks like it would give you the best bang for your $$$. I recently installed a set on a 3g eclipse and was extremely impressed with the build quality, and amount of research that has gone in to making these. There are a few other brands out there but they really didnt impress me anywhere near as much!!
As for additional mods to compliment the headers, I would recomend their Fuel Pressure Regulator unit which will flatten out the fuel curve. Also an Apex-i S-AFC wouldnt hurt, although its alot of money you could always add it on at a later date to tie in all the additional mods that we discussed earlier.
Hopefully I was of some help to you. Keep me informed if you make a decision!! Say hi to Aubrey for me...
Vinnay
Now this isnt to bash any other companies or kiss anyones ass...I asked him as an outside source who has no ties with any of the companies we have dealt with here...
Take it as you want to...but I have made my decision on what brand I am going with!!!
