Yes this header is made by HP Racing in Miami for NOPI (Number One Parts Inc.) Thats where they get #1 from. I had the same header and it flowed well and there was a difference in power, then I noticed an exhaust leak a few months later and it came from the flex pipe in the header! Don't do it save your dough and get a good header, thats what I ended up doing!!!

Topspeed is almost the cheapest yet least troublesome header.

The difference is the quality.

Well for your question. The difference would be with heat dissipation. Thats if the designs are the same.
