If they're really cheap buy it, otherwise leave it stock. Its not going to get you any horsepower anyways. But yeah, at least they're legal

Yes it will directly fit your B16 hatch... ground clearance may be different but shouldnt be an issue.

I sold my Spoon header "in favor" of the Edelbrock. It's better built, and made more power, no regrets

I dissagree. The Edelbrock is a heavier gauge metal, and uses actual stainless on the exhaust flange, the DC flange rusts up and looks like crap after it ages, even on stainless models

x2

EDIT:
PS: You won't notice a lot of gain on your B16. I don't think it's worth it for 200 bucks.

Only reason I had a header on my Z6 was because it was a DC Sports 4-2-1 header in probably 80% as good as new condition for $40. You simply don't pass up something like that.

It pays to shop around
