Default BCRH - VIBRANT HEADER WITH CAT DELETE

I'm going to buy a race header soon to go along with my HKS Sport Ti cat back. Both of these headers look and sound great, I would just like to hear from those of you who have
installed them. I've heard that the springs on the BCRC may become noisy and the Vibrant
is much less in terms of cost. I would apprciate your input. I have an 08 Si sedan.

Thanks,

x2. no personal experience, but from what i've read about vibrant it seems like their headers and exhausts make good power, are of good build quality, and are pretty resonably priced compared to the competition.

Thanks of the info. I'm leaning towards the Vibrant with the cat delete.

s2 was built FOR power. hands down.

I had the BCRH for quite some time before I traded my fg2 in and that was great as well. I had no issues with the springs or anything.

As far as the Vibrant.... its also a well designed power adder. Very Good quality and gains for the price.

if you buy any header, its going to be a race header which deletes the cat because its a one piece header. an exception to this would be the comptech header, which is going to give you negligible gains when compared to a race header

Exactly how much more power does the S2 put out....I saw the 8thcivic dyno...but I didn't see a baseline run to compare to.
