Default best bang for $$ header under $400..

hey we'll its really hard finding a used dc header in good condition, and after talking to a few people, dc is know to crack so i dont really wanna get ****ed buying a used one and finding out its cracked.

anyways besides the jdm dc 4-1 header, what other header is a really good header that is relatively cheap. $400 MAX but obviously cheaper and used even cheaper

unless you need a CARB header in which case i'd say edelbrock but there is little power to be had in a CARB legal collector.

for 400, i would wait til some broke-*** guy is selling his real SMSP, hytech, or RMF for crack prices. thats why you always have money in the bank. to take advantage of honda-tech crackheads when they surface.

A stock p28 will run that engine very lean. Atleast get it street tuned.
