Eg's and Ek's are completely different cars. If your seller is telling you the headers fit these cars, then you shouldn't even be considering them.

Not all K-series headers are the same. Not trying to bust your ***** but you need a header not headers. You only need one not a set.

a kseries swap header will not fit the si, or rsx for that matter. you need a 06+ SI specific header.

Dc sports makes a nice race header if you don't mind loosing your cat, adn then having to get a O2 defouler to keep from setting teh CEL, runs about 499.00 retail. with their cat-back it dyno'd a little over 18hp.

dcrh is junk. the welds suck, and the flex pipe cracks. even wit the new batch that is "fixed" suck. smaller piping and a 2" collector are terrible if u want a race header. they arent stainless steel and even with their ceramic coating, it will chip away and rust. they are less than 400. nobody ever pays retail.

if u want a header similar to dcrh. go with the strup, its stainless and has a better build quality. but even then i wouldnt recommend getting either of those headers.

wow your seller is a dumbass...the EG and EK k series swap header is only made to fit on there chassis not the Si's....hes probably tryin to sell you the R-Krew header...witch once again wont fit on the Si's...i agree with K5^ you should not even bother buying stuff from him if he doesnt even know a simple thing like that

With my experience so far my header is holding up fine. been on there for a while. And all the 2in blah blah, my car made 207 with I/DCRH/E. Header has performed for me very well and for the price....cant beat it. i payed 350 shipped.
