Default Which header is better??

I am looking at getting a header for my 1997 civic ex coupe. I was wondering what is better. A greddy stainless steel 4-2-1, or a DC sports 4-2-1?? I am asking b/c the DC is a little more expensive (only $20) so I didn't know if that was because it is a lot better, or if it is just a markup.

Thanks!!!

I have the greddy header on my car. Greddy produces more torque the the dc, I saw a dyno chart comparing the two headers on the same car with a the d16 engine. Here is mine.

Just get whats cheaper.. they are very very simular in quality. I'd get Greddy cuz its cheaper. I've had both greddy and Dc headers before.... and both are simular in performance as well.

both are high quality headers, and love the way stainless steel turns color when they get hot..i think pacesetter has headers in black that look pretty nice too..ive got the ceramic DC Sports 4-2-1s
