Default headers and power boost

i just recently purchased my '99 Prelude, and was wondering which headers would give me the best power gains within the $400-$600 pricerange, i dont have any turbo parts i just need a good header with good performance gains, im currently looking into the DC Sports 4-2-1 header and the GReddy custom header, does anyone have an opinion on either of these or have a suggestion for a better product?

Stay away from DC sports... Your stock header is better...

same with the DC header and modify the collector. Thats if you wanna save a couple hundred bucks. I modified my Dc header and i noticed a significant difference when i changed the collector to 2.5."

2.5" all the way !

good luck

TRUE, prospeed is around the 700 dollar area...but if your willing to dish out atleast 600 on a header find an extra hundred and a half and you can get a real quality header..

Modifying the header is pretty inexpensive.

The compare between Greddy and Prospeed cannot be done. As the Prospeed dyno'ed better than the Jun header (courtesy of the dyno by JunBB1).

I.E. - the Prospeed is way better than the greddy.
