Default 92 Prelude H23 Header?

I have a H23 looking for a Header,, any ideas and where to buy one. How much would it help.

Question two. I took the head off because the timing belt broke and bent the valves,, about 8 of them. Can I reuse the head bolts?

Why do you want to get another header?

I re-used my OEM head-studs without any problem. I wouldn't do it more than once or twice though...

Basically your only options besides custom are the DC Sports header and the Megan Header off of ebay. I vote for the Megan because it's cheaper, I've heard more good stories from owners from it than anything, and a guy made ~11 hp off of one. I heard DCs have a problem with cracking

I have an automatic H23 and I just made 16whp in the 5400-6100 rpm range with a cheap ebay header, ebay intake, custom 2.5" exhaust, and tuning on a VAFC2. The dyno graphs are in the "Official Prelude Dynos" thread.
