You can start by looking at the collective FAQs link on the top of the page:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=642479

You can find lots of info in there. Including this D-Series Header FAQ:
http://www.hadamotorsport.com/....html

After that searching is pretty good.

Thanks Papichat,
I appreciate the info and will definitely give it a read or two. I ran across a coupe of low cost options, OBX and Megan Racing....
Any opinions?...
Any brands I should stay away from?
Thanks again

You can also try searching in http://www.d-series.org...

However before you start spending money, have you figured out what ur goal is with the car? How much power you want to make? Whats your budget?

Straightening that out first will determine what engine you will use (swap or not), and whether your going to Boost or stay N/A...

If you dont know yet, maybe you want to start with an Alarm, and suspension...

Hope I helped you out... good luck...

why do u need to replace your header? and some good companies to look at r dc sports (there cermaic headers are known to crack around the welds) and Greddy is a good company, both of those arn't to expensive, but with headers u get what u pay for, the more expensive the better, so it all depends on what kind of power ur looking for

Hi,
Good question, My old header has a crack, and since emissions tests are coming to Texas, I need to do something about it. I was thinink of adding a nicer header to improve performance over my sock system, as budget allows I woud like to add a cold air intake and exhaust as well, im new to honda's so I am trying to learn as I go.
Thanks,

Megan seems to be one of the better brands I can afford, DC and Greddy are out of my price range right now. I m still running stock everything, so I am open to any and all exhaust recommendations.
I'm looking for something that;s not too whiny and has a nicer deep throaty sound. Maybe I spend more case here. I'd like to go with DC, but I have not been able to find anything under $300.00 so if you know of any good deals please let me know.
Thanks,
