Default Different brand name header?

Im looking for a brand new header. However, I tend to research a lot and found that I am looking for a 4-1 header. My question is "Which brand name header is best suitable for my d16z6?" There is a whole lot of aftermarkets but i want one with a reasonable price and horsepower too. A good reasonable price would be below $500. Unless, you sell me yours and its legit.

I always used the stock header in my old setup and it did fine. Other people were using DC Sport headers left and right but didn't seem to make a difference on the track or streets.

You really wont notice any difference on any header if your motor is stock. There will be little or no gain.

save your cash, buy a stock one. buy something else like a clutch/flywheel combo, replace worn out parts somewhere, complete tune-up, suspension, you get the idea.

I wouldnt spend more than $100 on a header for a z6.........Spend much more and you have a header thats worth more than the motor itself. If your stock just find another stock exhaust manifold and call it a day.
