Default is this real?

are things like this on ebay real?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WD1V

im just wondering
what are the best (cheapest) places to buy aftermarket stuff for these cars?

i am new to hondas...

not a noob to cars tho, I just came out of a 1988 bmw M3 (unreliable and not good for daily driving) and a 1992 nissan 300ZX n/a (too many miles at 238k). so now I have a 99 integ LS!

another quick question, what would make a 4-2-1 header better than a 4-1, or vice versa?

a 4-2-1 header gives better low-end power than a 4-1 header, while a 4-1 gives more top-end power. On my LS I plan on getting a 4-2-1 header since I feel it will be better for street driving. If you do a ls/vtec then I would go 4-1. It really depends on where you want your power-band to be.

cliffnote: 4-2-1=low-end power 4-1=high-end power

Take a look in the sponsors marketplace and classifieds if you're looking for parts.

EDIT: says it fits ITR models only. won't fit your LS.

i had to sell the E30 because well, its my only car and an M3 with 185k miles isnt exactly the most practical thing.

Actually, a good 4-2-1 will give you more power through the entire rpm range. Good luck finding a carb eo header lke that though, all I've seen are long enough to force moving the cat back, and you can't relocate the cat and stay smog legal.

well the M3 wasnt exactly a mint example....so you know. money pit.

but if i was a billionaire, then yes...changing to an LS is a retarded idea.

any suggestions on brands other than DCS for headers?
