Its header, not headers, you only have one. Sorry for nitpicking but I get really tired of everyone talking about their headers.

It's fine.

It's a DX, you're not going to extract mega hp outta it with a DC Sports header anyway...

If you were like, really determined to go with a full naturally aspired build I'd say go for name brand...but it's DX..so you probably have a fart can on it and a cheap intake (which is fine)...so I mean there's no harm in putting an ebay header on it...

You get what you pay for though.

Just hold onto the stock mani in case the welds on the header crack..

It's 11 years old, I doubt it flows better. You have any idea how much carbon build up's probably in there? He can probably gain 1 - 5hp with his ebay header opposed to a stock mani (clean)...if he wants it let him get it, it's not your car.

Well its $7 so they probably did not even consider how much better the ports are, length of the primaries, tube diameter, the welds are probably HORRIBLE and bound to crack. Plus stock manifolds aren't that bad. JerseySiPOS runs a stock CTR exhaust manifold on his B20VTEC and ran low 13s N/A

Its a waste of money if you ask me. You'll get more pleasure by going to Quiznos and getting a sandwich instead.
