Look into a Megan header. Probably the best bang for your buck. From what I hear, they outperform DC headers.

best $150 header is the 96 spec jdm itr manifold. it's heavy, ugly but makes power. for $300 there is the 98 spec 4-1 jdm itr and or decent replicas start around this money. keep your car stock before you buy obx

Mugen 4-1. I just picked up one off of a fellow h-t user and I cant believe how much more power it makes over a dc 4-1. Save your money and buy quality parts the first time and you will be much happier in the long run.

Then they were on basicly stock cars cause DC header pipes are not bad at all

Don't slam your car like a LA mexican lowrider and thatlll fix your "pancake" problem

If you can afford it get a Bisimoto Header. Serious gains seen, even with replicas

4-2-1 gives you more mid-range torque. it gives you a little more ground clearance too.

4-1 gives you more high-end torque. gives you less ground clearance since all 4 pipes are down there.

one piece is the way to go. make sure the piping dimension is stepped pipping to prevent back pressure.

im looking for a header too just like you are. i heard megan cracks easily. i kinda want ceramic coating. mostly likely ill be getting some ebay dc or skunk2 not sure. not megan or obx for sure. haha

some of you seemed confused what 4-1 means. haha
