Default Headers recommendations

I'm looking to do an engine swap in a EG6 with a B18C motor
Can anyone recommend headers to me?
Lower end of the price range as my budget is limited

megan racing is pretty good. i am running one. 4-2-1 for i think $170 shipped or something. but it wont bolt on to your d series cat converter. u can either get a b series oem cat converter or bring your car to a muffler shop and have then cut and rewelded for u for like $30~$40 bucks.
and each b series header has different flange angle. gsr, ls. civic 99-00 si can all be bolted on to your engine but the flange angles is off..so i suggest, find a nearest muffler shop to where u live and bolt on the after market header and drive it to the shop, it is going to be loud but thats the best way to get them rewelded precisely. good luck.
and thats what i did

go with the megan, you can find them pretty cheap, and i honestly don't think you'll see much difference from any header unless you spend 500+

Not gonna work for his price range.
Theres nothing wrong with the stock header that comes on the B18c.
If your gonna upgrade the header, save up and get something worth your while. Dont go cheap on a GSR motor.

Ha...

To the OP, if it's a basically "stock" motor, then there's no need to go ***** out and spend $500+. The Megan Racing one would probably suit your needs for a decent price.

700-1K is way out of the picture lol
but im not looking to get 10 hp from a header
all I'm doing is trying to find a header for a reasonable price that will compliment the other add-ons I plan to do

you can try the dc sports name brands. iirc they also sell the type-r replica too i belive. u never mentioned if this car is dd or wut ur gonna use it for. but i assume its a dd, so u can choose between 4-2-1 header one piece, 4-2-1 header 2piece, 4-1 header 1 piece or the 4-1 header 2piece. jus to shed some light for ya gl on ur purchace

I say the best header you could get would be one with a nice TD05H 16G on the end of it!!!!
