Cometic seems to be gaining popularity

otherwise stock one is pretty good too until ur making big hp

once 400-450+ prolly a tomei, hks brand would cost around 400ish

HKS headstopper are good Harry, they are a triple layer design and come in few different specs to suit your needs. I've used them for 4 or so years and they are yet to fail. If you get stuck and can't find one I should be able to help you out.

We actually used Cometic one from memory when I first rebuilt my motor and it failed after around 3,000km. However I don't know if the gasket was at fault but the experience had me change and use the HKS product and it's still good after 10,000km's. I think the Cometic cost around $220 and the HKS gasket kit was around $600, this included complete replacements for each of gaskets on the motor.
