Well the problem with making a header for the 420a is that many people believe that there are minimal gains to be found. For example Greddy makes a header for the 420a, cost around $400 (i think), its a good quality header. SportCompactCar intalled this header on an eclipse and only got really low gains.

Some members have installed headers on their cars and felt as though they wasted their money. Now I have a OBX header i got from SSautochrome for $135 shipped (if u email them they will cut you a deal even lower than ebay). As you know their warehouse is here in Morrisville NC. I live about 10 mins away in Raleigh, NC. I like my header, cant beat it for the price i got, and i got some nice gains with it. I do have cams, port work, etc so gains on my car would probably be more than a stock 420a.
I can come to the shop one weekend and let you look at my car for fitment or ideas, i even have a spare obx header w\o downpipe laying around somewhere (long story on why i have two).
What the 2gnt really needs is a custom intake manifold, with crane 16s my car needs more air flow.
