Default header comparision...

i'm fairly new to this and have been reading the postings on headers.. but they all basically compare brand name headers to others..
i have a 1995 integra LS with exhaust and intake so far... i was looking on ebay and have seen a significant price difference between the DC sports header that is popularly used for around $300 and a no name knock off for less than $100... here are some links...

DC sports header:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...72974

knock off brand:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...95011

obx header:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...67795

is there a significant difference in these headers? also, what is better a 4-2-1 or 4-1 and does ceramic coating, stainless steel, or chrome make a differene? if so what would be the best?
Thanks for any help you can give me at all.

Stainless steel, ceramic, chrome are all just how bling they are really, just what theyre made of. Both designs, 4-1 or 4-2-1 offer different flow characteristics which are dependent on your engine setup which will be best for you. I would say go with DC, never heard a bad thing about them, they are quality pieces.

yo theres no such thing as a vtec and non-vtec header, you buy the header according to your engine like the other guy said.

and dont buy knock off brands, its your car...buy it right the first time.
