Default Cracked manifold...replace with header?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some suggestions for an exhaust manifold replacement. I have a 95 Del Sol SI, 1.6 V-Tec and just recently noticed that my exhaust manifold is cracked. I was wanting to replace it with a header, but wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions as to which header would be the best. I'm not into racing, and do have emissions testing.
I'm not wanting to break the bank, but would like something decent. Thanks in advance for any advice.

When my manifold cracked I put a ebay header on my 93 del sol si auto.
Works fine was about $60 included gaskets collector pipe. Cheaper than a o2 sensor that I already replaced. When you install bolt header to the block first, then collector pipe to the header, then get underneath and use some vise grips to force the collector pipe to line up with the exhaust pipe than lock in the spring loaded bolts. Check torque specs everywhere DON'T overtighten and tighten evenly.
