there are lots of headers that you can choose from.. it would really depend on your personal choice plus the budget you have and willing to spend.. what may good to others, may not to you.. so just go for what you think is best for your ride.. good luck

price does matter, or we wouldn't all still have civics

you didn't say anything about power, so I wouldn't worry about spending the big money on a bisimoto or hytech header.. just buy a stainless 4-2-1 DC

they hold up well, fit well, have decent ground clearance..

I have a 4-2-1 Vibrant Stainless header. It's fairly pricey but it's worth it in my opinion. I haven't scraped it yet... (knock on wood)

I had a DC Sport header on my old b16 and it gave it pretty good power with all other bolt-on's. It also had great ground clearance for me

If you want clearance then don't get a 4-1, thats all I can say.

hasn't an-r.com had problems with those headers cracking? not knocking you, just something I had heard.. it seemed to make sense, their headers are several hundred dollars less than comparable designs.

That was with the original design they had a lot of problems. I believe they changed the design.

FALSE
DC is crap. Get something decent. And get something stainless.
