Default need help finding a good header

I have a 90 Gs and want a stainless header because I like the way it looks better than ceramic. Im not looking to spend a **** ton of money on them, I see alot of ppl talk about DC headers but Ive only found ceramic by them and they appear to not have o2 bung where it should be for my year. Got a megan racing header and it angles down towards the ground and idk if its worth it to get it fixed at like midas or buy a different header. in the pic you can see its like an inch off the ground and my car isnt super low

I've never seen a 2 piece DC sports header, cheaper then PLM only suggestion would be megan racing but I see that's what you have on there. a used jdm ITR header would be next best option can be had for around 100$ if you look and they have normal ground clearance

I would just pull your exhaust apart and have it fixed cheaper. I had the same problems with my mustang when I had it. One section was just to long forcing it in an weird angle. Pull a section off and just measure what can be cut out and have it rewelded back together or the flange back on. I had about an 1inch cut out and reflared and it was great after that.

Just do a pie cut and have it rewelded. Dc headers are crap unless it is free. FYI a ceramic header is a coating on top of usually stainless steel. It help keep heat in the header and reduce heat soak from the header. More important than looks IMO.

If you really think that a plm header is high on cost, I recommend just getting a Kia and leaving it stock. $300 for a plm is cheap considering the headers they replicate are $700-1200.

you must have been looking at the wrong section because at most PLMS cheapest header is 325$ ive seen specials where they are 250-275, theyre most expensive is just under 500.... just go buy an ebay one if your gonna complain about the price theyre awesome, if you read the description i think its like a 15whp instant increase
