Default Budget Header Comparison

OK....

So throughout my search for a header for my budget road course honda, I am looking to build a full road car for under 10 grand. Regardless of my plan, here is my setup, and my questions.

siR II jdm motor
AEBS intake manifold
Password jdm short ram (my daily driver too)
Worldsport(dd) N1(track) exhaust

Amongst my searches for dyno plots and header comparisons, which of the following budget headers would be most worth my money:

JDM 4-1 DC sportshttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33631

Edlebrock pro-flo 1 piece http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33631

Weapon R Stainless Steelhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33631


Other headers i was considering were the stage 2 King of Street JDM 4-1 and the vibrant, but after the header test I am shying away from the vibrant.

Also, if anyone has any dynos of other headers with a max price retail of 400 or suggestions i would be very appreciative. I have researched plenty and am just asking opinions with facts/dynos to back it up, so please be easy on the flaming.

Thank you

Eric

Its not really the money thats the problem, because i can save up for a good header but i wouldnt be able to get the other parts i needed to get out on the track this season which is my goal. I am a college student, with a college budget, and am just looking to get the most bang for the buck for this season. My main concern is power, but of course i would like to hear about fitment problems, ground clearance, etc.

Any more info on the weapon r?

what made you say that dc should be the one?

Let me know!

Eric

search, someone did a header test for the H22's. Of course the prospeeds, Anr, and smsp were at the top. people have been putting down upwards of 18-20 whp with an smsp header, spend more money, youll get near twice the gains with one of these that youd get with a DC.

If you are road racing the car, it's obviously lowered. So I'd say either the JDM ITR and then you can do a little porting on the flange and cut out the antireversion chamber in the collector. You'll have something with the best ground clearance of a standard style 4-1 and bullet proof. Or you could go with the Edlebrock but you should mod the collector.
