LOL...

How much money do you want to spend?

A good buy right now is probably the SMS Products header in coated steel. It's under $900 and flows good enough that you will not have to change headers even after extensively modifying the motor.

For a dyno of my motor in its current state of tune, go to: www.george.knighton.com

You have another very good choice, however, IMHO.

If you are not going to modify your car very much, that is to say, you're going with intake, header, exhaust and basically stopping with that, then I heartily recommend either the OEM JDM 4-1 header or the DC JDM 4-1 header (which is pretty much a cheap copy of the OEM Honda header).

These are cheap (OEM) to very cheap (DC). If you go the route of the OEM JDM header, you can also spend a little more and get the upper heat shield, and no one will ever suspect you even have a header. It will look completely stock.

Here is a dyno of my car with Comptech Icebox, OEM JDM header, SMS cat, and SMS 2.5" cat back:

OEM JDM Header and SMSP Exhaust

So that you can get an idea of how much improvement this was over stock, here is a dyno of my car when it was completely stock:

Quite a bit of time elapsed between these three dyno charts; however, all the readings were on Dynojet, so the equivalence shouldn't be too very far off.[/quote:6d99062ae9]

George, are these dyno plots produced without tuning through VAFC or Hondata??? Very impressive......
