Default Header for a 99 accord EX sedan?

I heard a lot people on this forum talk how much they dislike DC sports headers, can anyone recomend a good header for my car? How are Kamikaze Headers?

WHEN I USED A HEARDER ON MY 98 ACCORD I USE NEUSPEED CAUSE I LIKE THE FACT OF THE CERAMIC COATING ON THEM. BUT I THINK THEY MOSTLY ALL DO A GO JOB

You might wanna lose the caps man.. They are hard to read and give the preception of you yelling..

By the way, the Neuspeed headers are just restamped DC headers..

This is a I4 not V6 right? Not many headers out there for your application. I don't know anything about Kamikaze quality, but ANYTHING has got to be better than DC.

DC cuts alot of corners, their stainless steel header has mild steel welds, there have been plenty of problems with cracking and in some applications the O2 bung isnt tapped right and the o2 sensor doesnt fit right, the primaries on DC headers are smaller than just about every other header you can buy.

How about OBX? I saw a deal on Ebay for an OBX header and intake starting at a hundred bucks. What is the quality of OBX?

DC does suck. Friends and I have had zero good experiences with DC headers.
I've never even heard of OBX?

So does anyone know some good headers to get for a 6th gen accord? DC sucks, but I haven't heard from other 6th gen owners what they have?

Comptech makes good stuff, but they are expensive.
I've heard nothing bad about the Newspeed header.

i have a ceramic coated DC header... was it great? no, was it bad? no. but i really don't think any company produces a good header for Accords... in fact, no one really produces good exhaust-related products for Hondas (IMHO)... if you look at aftermarket products in detail, you'll notice that at certain points on the exhuast systems (especially around the catalytic converter), the diameter of the tubing decreases.... DC Sports, Tanabe, Greddy, Apex, etc... all have piping that is 2" where it connects to the cat... this does not only happen on our cars, but also on others such as ITRs...

yes, it's sad but true...

I personally know 3 out of 3 DC headers that developed internal rattles within a year of installation, and I've heard of more on the internet.

Is it even worth it to get a header for an Accord? or is a cat back enough?
