Default Favorite 4 to 1 Headers?

Hey guys I'm wonderin'g what is your favorite 4 to 1 headers for an Integra GS-R. I'm running a 1995 GS-R and am seriously considering going with the Edelbrock brand of headers. What do ya'll think? Ya'll recommend something better? I'm thinking about running Edelbrock headers to a Greddy Evo 2 Exhaust

Header, not headers. If you're gonna get headers, send me the other one.

Edelbrock is a reputable company. I would trust their products. What's your price range? Power goals? Plans for the car?

Sport Compact car magazine did a huge test of all different brand headers a couple of years ago on an integra. Did systematical runs with same temp and stuff. The DC sports header boasted the most horsepower gains over all the others. something like 7 at the wheels(not positive). This is all from memory but DC sports is what I got and is a good hunk of metal.

4-2-1 has better mid-high gains
4-1 has better top end gains

I have the 4-2-1 and I like it!

that may apply for many off the shelf design headers such as dc. but with the many custom hybrid headers on the market now, this isnt the case.

Money isn't a big issue but, I'm not looking to spend a grand on header. Maybe around 500 less. I'm building an Auto-Cross car so what you guys are telling me I should get a 4-2-1 header. I don't know what I'm going to do with the car eventually so I'm thinking maybe a 4-1 header would be a good all around performance plus. What exhaust are you guys running? I've heard great things about the Greddy Evo 2 Exhaust and I am seriously considering purchasing it. Although I don't want to lose my low-end torque if I get a new exhaust. Auto-Cross is all low end torque sport but, the GS-R's aren't well known for their low end unlike the LS, RS, GS, SE models. I'm probably going to run a stock intake box also with a K&N Filter.
