Default What are the best set of headers out.

I'm just about done with my B16 build and I need some input on a set of headers. There are so many out and I dont have any idea which one is the best. So please help out.

What kind of power you looking for? Low end, high end? How much you want to spend? You want polished, chrome, etc..?

I went with high end and got an absolutly beautiful set of the polished stainlesss Edelbrock 4-2-1 headers for one of my B16's. The flanges are all lazer cut and sealed with metal o rings.

JDM ITR 4-1, you cant go wrong with OEM honda performance parts. this header is more designed for all top end power though, so if you want mid range get something else, or a 4-2-1

I should buy a header also. But i dont know witch i would buy.

I have a D16A9 euro engine. And the local headers arent good enough for my needs. So what you would recommend at US headers. Tell the opinions, looks doesent matter. It just have to be good. I'm looking for torque and power to mid area. 4-2-1 would be nice.

I just replaced my camshafts, and i have so much power on high rpms (i mean high 5800 and up), but i miss some torque to mid range 3000- 5500.

I would not say the best, but pretty dam good. If your not looking to go all out, a dc sports header will do just fine.

The first pic is the AN-R header for the 88-91 civic/crx w/o AC. I believe they have both b and d series models. The second pic is for the 92+ hondas with the half size radiator.

If you're looking for a "set of headers", get some of these.. they take slight mods to fit a b16 though

I have no idea which is best but I have seen A LOT of Honda's with DC Sports headers on them. Sorry if I don't help because I am dumb. But that is just what I have observed. Lots of magazine cars have them and stuff. So maybe they are good, maybe they just look good. Good luck with that.

You say that now, but you do know that SMSP and Hytech's headers are $1k+ right? Are you willing to spend that much on just a header?
If you are just about done with your b16, why would you save the header for last? Just curious.
