Default Best header for the $

I tried searching and didn't really find much on here. Im curious as to what header gives the best POWER output for the $. I dont actually know all the brand of headers made for the RSX-s yet but im learning.

I know of the DC sports race header, jackson racing has one, TODA, and comptech. am i missing any? I guess im asking, which header gives out the BEST power for our cars. And do they all bolt right up? the type s im getting has a 2.5" exhaust by greddy. (the evo i think). does anyone have prices on these too?

thanks for the help guys.

Race headers make the most power. shorties don't make as much power. But buying something for cheap means the quality of the product is also sacrificed. I've heard people that have certain brands like DC sports have had some problems. If I were you I'd save money and get a Toda. yea it's alot but it's worth it.

TODA all the way.... but I'm biased. If money is a concern, get the DC Sports Race, it makes some pretty good gains at the wheels. If money isn't a concern, get the TODA or Mugen.

well, if you have an ep3, you can try the borla header. I have the borla and it makes great top end power.

For the RSX, Toda makes the best power of what is available on the market.

yea the Toda header is awesome, but for the money a used Jaskson Racing Header is a great deal. I think you can pick one up for a about 400 used nowadays.

It's the header I use and I love it.
