Default Best header for a b18c1?

I have DC sports 4-2-1 setup runnin right now, and have had lots of thoughts of changing off of it. Just curious on what has been shown to give better numbers or if i should just get a custom job done?

Well i need to know what im expectin to spend. Lets just say Money is not a huge issue but if something is REALLLY expensive and the gains are just not worth it then i could care less.

So if the header is worth the money then ill buy it but if im getting like more 2hp and spendin 500 dollars more for it then no thanks

From what I have seen, all of these headers (DC, SMSP, etc.) seem to offer about the same HP per dollar. So it really boils down to spending ~$250 for ~4HP or ~$1000 for ~16HP.

It all depends on your set-up. Is the motor Stock or built? If it stock I would stick with an ITR or DC header. Built- go with a nicer header SMSP or Hy-tech; it might be a lot more money but it'll be worth every penny.
