ceramic or ss
I was wondering what to get for headers. I have a 95 civic Lx, I have been looking at the dc sports 4-1 ss and ceramic headers. But not sure if this is the right choice of brand or type, so any input would help thx.

When I put in my DC 4-2-1 ceramic header, I couldn't get the old O2 sensor out of the old crappy stock iron exhaust manifold; it was stuck in there. Luckily, I had a new sensor anyway since I was changing it in hopes of fixing a little CEL problem (and yes it fixed it), so you might want to get a new sensor. I like the ceramic header. I got mine used on ebay for about 120 clams; just had to have some modification done since the previous user apparently welded the header to a test tube. As long as you're not competing in a car show I say go with the ceramic; they're cheaper, I think they're lighter and they do the job. Just don't wrap em or paint em cuz I am told that will mess them up if they can't breathe and dry off et cetera. I think 4-2-1's (low and midrange gains) be more beneficial to you than 4-1's (more top end hp), but I could be wrong and I don't know what you have planned and already under the hood.
