Default B16 Header Choice; Help Me Decide

Hey guys. I am new to building b-series engines and I am needing a header for the car. I am a DC Sports guy at heart but I can't wait for 4 months to buy a header due to a company relocation so I have been looking at some other choices.

Please vote for the header that you think would best fit and power worthy.

The car is a 92' Civic CX with a SiR-II B16 w/ Skunk2 Mega Power Catback.

Oh, and I am trying to be affordable, I can't understand paying a grand for a header ither. So the choices range from 300 to 600.

If you have any other options I should consider, please let me know what and why.

save for another month and get the Toda, proven to be the best for a 1.6liter

what happend to the sohc motor u wer building?

anyways.. hytech,smsp,toda are all good choices..

there are cheaper ones but got to be aware : quality or performance goes down when the price go down.. sometimes both quality and performance ...

in the end.. paying more or saving up a little more for a real deal is always worth the effort

Neither hytech or smsp make a header specifically for the B16a. Toda is recomended by SMSP for the B16a.

My SOHC I was building? Well, I was getting ready to put in the pistons and rods in and I was going to send my cylinder head the JG when my friend called me up and told me he totaled his car and wanted to buy mine. He shot me a price and I took it. I am still going to help him build that car but I ended up with this new project. Ought to be fun but sometimes I miss the old d-series.
