im looking for race headers, whats the best aftermarket brand?

 

if u got a k20z3 (SI) the best one u can get is the buddy club header for like 800 +, then theres the vibrant with Hight flow cat trailing right behind it in performance and price. Then theres the usual DC race header, but anthing without a cat u get the distinct smell rotten eggs.

GO with the vibrant w/ HFC

It's the cat that actually smells like rotten eggs. And buddy club is NOT the "best one u can get". Try Hyech or SSR if you want the most gains possible. They're both around $1200+

x2

When will people finally learn this?? Posted this before (*edit: and it was directed at 100miles+ last time too!! https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2325758):

"The "rotten egg" sulfur smell is usually generated by high temperatures in the catalytic converter caused by excess unburned fuel going through the exhaust. The converter oxidizes this fuel, which generates the heat, and the high heat generates the smell. An occasional whiff of this smell upon start-up or momentarily at idle isn't necessarily a problem. In fact, it indicates the catalytic converter is doing its job in preventing unburned fuel vapors from reaching the atmosphere. But of course, the concern is what's causing the higher percentage of unburned fuel from the engine."

AFAIK it's a DC copy. good company, nice people, decent products but not the best.

middle of the road without much of their own R&D behind it.

but, rest assured, if you ever did have an issue, they would stand behind the product and help you out.
