kamakaze. but not good reviews on them. make your own out of an old dc sports header and some welding.

edit: you said quality... sorry

thanks, but im definatly looking for a good part. i dont want problems. i have spent too much time and effort on this car to put on something thats not 100%

cutting up a regular DC sport might end up being my only option, but im trying to avoid that.

The Greddy with the 2.5" collector mod seems the choice for headers in the lower price range. Check out the Prelude forum, they have a couple of active header discussions which should help you. Granted, they exclude some of the headers designed for hybrids (no ac), but it's still a good read.

Welcome to my problem. Here is a similar thread I made today. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1451794

Do you have ground clearance problems too? My header takes a beating, since I am running one designed for the 92-96 Lude. I highly recommend that you look into a custom header for your setup. You will make more power, have better ground clearance, and you will have a header that in theory, will be more condusive to your future engine mods. I still will be implementing a skid plate just in case, but with a custom header you will still gain at least 2-3'' of clearance.

it doesnt look like ill have clearance issues... my oil pan is just as low, if not lower than where a header will be....

at this point i just want a good header, that will work for $300 - $450. im running a stock motor... and i have ac and power steering, so i dont have a ton of room to work with.

i just need something at this oint to get the car done

Yeah, $400 if you find one used. LOL. The header alone without the mod is like $400 shipped.

It was $359.00 for me...shipped. Then another few dollars for the mod. Opposed to a RMF or SMSP? Definitely worth it...

If you are going to do it then do it right, AN-R Hytech, etc. When I was all motor I had a DC Sports and it was only ok. HOWEVER, I modded the collector to a 2.5" and the mid to top end difference was night and day. Well worth the $250 price, then mod it...

The collector is the part where the 4 exhaust tubes come down and "collect" together.
Modding it is simply cutting the current one out and welding in a larger one...
Basically..
