basic 1 would be a megan or dc header that are available for replacement. You can spend some money and get a custom 1 made that wouldnt require any adjustments but that probably would not be financially smart to do.

If your looking to upgrade your header, your gunna have to get an aftermarket crosmemeber to make the header worth it. Megan or Dc headers dont produce enough power compared to other aftermarket headers. better off just leaving the factory header.

It may cost more and be more work to fit but if your looking for more power you need to spend the cash and the time on a decent header. Converting from stock to hytech-replica with 2.5' exhaust cost me a fortune in the end (flanges, rear 2.5' olive, steel piping, argon gas on top of header and exhaust) but the end result was well worth it. Shifted the power band up by around 400rpm, making peak HP at 7200rpm instead of ~6700-6800rpm and hp flat lines till 7700rpm.

Just notch the cross member, DIY job:

I believe the vibrant header does not need crossmember notching.

Just notch it, it isn't that hard. Most power producing headers require the notching because of bigger pipeing.

I will have to agree with 3rd time....the logic motorsports headers are really nice and are only $400 brand new.

makes more power over BISI and RMF. for h2b swaps and h22/F20b motors alone, that is. not sure for any other motors.

doing a F2B swap in my integra and thats my choice of headers after i get it running.
