This is about what I was thinking. I was hoping Cruiser or 5-90 might weigh in with experience.

Ok header replacement.

What is the general best one to get?

I know theres APN, Pacesetter.

I'm looking for something with some performance gain, but also serves as a good replacement period.

Is APN the normal one that people usually get?

You running the Baja 1000 or Indy? Get the APN. If you want performance, have a new headpipe made that eliminates the "crush" in the one you have. Have the muffler shop tuck it up higher than stock. Get a flex pipe after the downpipe to save stress on your new manifold.

I've had Borla in my 88 for about 20 years and I remember the increase in power was significant as well as the sound is way better. Now, retired the 88 and i put it in my 98. Same thing. Stronger and mellower. They last a long time.
To fit it in a 98, I got a O2 bung welded the same distance as the factory location of the old pipe and plugged the other location as well as the EGR tube opening with brass fittings from the hardware store. Go stainless steel

A flex pipe is a great idea

I had the same problem last week when I towed a Uhaul trailer home. Blew the parking light fuse. I haven't done any troubleshooting yet. My wiring seems factory, it's behind the spare tire panel.

Doubt it. Rip the panel off behind the spare tire and see what's wrong.
