Default header purchase question

my friend has a 05 rsx type s and he is wanting to get a header for his car. he already has dc sport 2.5 cat back and is looking to get a header. what header would best compliment his current exhaust and give him the best gains? i tried searching but i dont really know much about rsx's. i dont know the term dcrh and such either so if you use them please explain.

thanks for your help. and he was looking to get the dc sport 4-2-1 ceramic header btw.

dcrh = DC Race Header and that is what I am probably going to get cause people have told me you dont get much gain with a regular 4-2-1 header

DCRH would be the way to go

i have a dcrh (stainless brushed) as well
i agree its not the best product out there but it is great for the price

when i can save up an extra 3-400 bucks for a bc, then i'll jump on the bandwagon

Stainless will last longer finish wise. The ceramic will rust. The finish on the stainless one does turn colors and what not but will not rust and will hold up better for those in a climate with a harsh winter.

i'll add onto kevin's comment

the ceramic will have a greater chance of cracking
however, it is pretty easy to repair at the shop

but all in all, a brush stainless steel is your best bet when it comes to the price and longevity

but remember, ALL header(s) crack under the pressure

esmms, torque damper kit, or upgraded motor mounts are highly recommended
