A year ago, I had headers installed on my jetta made from Eurosport. I also installed their cat back. An awesome sound, but clearly too loud (since the headers bypasses the cat). Last May, my headers started cracking (engine mounts are fine). It got worse and worse. I ordered Brospeed headers this time (1yr warranty - Eurosport had none) through a local shop. 2 months passed and the shop couldn't get a hold of the headers. So I finally placed an order with Rapid Parts (wicked service!). The headers showed up a whopping 3 days later!! :) I was surprised of the build quality of these headers. They are built strong, and they have no weak flex-zones like the eurosport has. Second of all, the eurosport is so long, you need to take the full intake out of the way to take it out. This is non-sense. Also, the design of the brospeed headers provide SPACE to work the head studs. The eurosport headers, you actually have to go under the car for two of the eight head studs. Finally, I had questions on the installation of the brospeed headers. I popped an email to bosal/brospeed through thier web site. They promptly provided me all the information I needed to do this installation by myself, a regular shadetree mechanic. Installation time: 2h. Removal of the eurosport headers: 3h! I am very proud of this setup and would recommend brospeed over any other headers any day! Bottom line, don't buy Eurosport!!!
