I have a choice to replace my crack stock header with either another stock header or a Ractive header. IT is for my daily drive civic. I do not race in this car. I just need to replace the header because it is cracked. The Ractive header would cost much less than if I buy another header from my honda dealer. There is not a junkyard around where I live that I can find a used stock header, so i'm Leaning toward the Ractive header. I just need it for my daily drive. What do you people think I should do?

By the way, This is the only aftermarket header that I can find with 2 (o2) sensor slots for my 1998 civic lx.

 

You should be able to take your cracked stock header to your local muffler shop and have them weld it up for you. That would hold for a pretty good while.

 

Thanks, anyone else?
