DC sports is the #1 header (I think) you can buy. They offer a stainless steel materiel header or ceramic materiel header. You can buy almost any header in either 4-2-1 or 4-1. The difference is that the 4 -2-1 header the exhaust "pipes" come out of your head ( four different "pipes") and into 2 "pipes" and then to 1 "pipe" before the "flex pipe". A 4-1 header the pipes come out of your head (four different "pipes") and go straight down to just before the "flex pipe" and into one. I have the Stainless Steel materiel header for my 94 EH2 and they work great. And after you run stainless steel headers for a while they will have a nice blue look tint to them because that is what happens to stainless steel after it gets HOT. Try Andy auot Sport.com for all your header needs + more great products.

^ Thank you Mr. Smart ***.

When I said "Headers" in the title I meant it as PLURAL. I wasn't speaking about a particular header. Would "A couple of questions about header" sound better?

NO - so STFU


Did I say HeaderS once in my post? NO

Dc sports it definately not the best header you can get.

Just go with OEM. Dc sports if you want a performance muffler The quality is fine and they're in the $250 range if I remember correctly. You could probably find a used one in the marketplace or ebay for much less though, just look at pictures to see if it's in decent condition.

I hear ITR headers hang a little lower, it looks low on my brothers gsr.

Dc sports gets a from me. Though you could take a risk and try out an ebay header. Some people have had good results and longevity with those.

Well I also forgot to mention I have an Apex'i World Sport 2 exhaust.

Are all headers universal and just bolt up to the exhaust/cat?

As long as you buy an EM1 fit header you'll be fine.

I had a ebay header on my first car ( EF SI ) it worked grest for about a year then the wels started to crack so i just bought a set of DC Sports and they were much better and also about 200 buck more.

if u have a welding machine id say go ahead with the ebay ones there cheap and if it breaks just re weld them
