Default Header comparision question

Which header would perform better on a b18b LS motor? Skunk2 or DC? But if you people have other header systems that you would like to recommend please do so. I'm leaning more towards the Skunk2 system because they have pretty good performance parts. I need everyones opinion please.
Thanks advance

i have the DC 4-1 one piece and i love it. midrange torque is great for daily driving, but im not even in there when racing so i didnt care about low end. i modify to race not to cruise.

4-1 headers, especially with 2.5" collector, are not great for torque. A 4-2-1 header will do much better in the low to mid range power.

The best 4-2-1 available is comptech. It is the only 4-2-1 header that has a stepped design, to prevent reverse exhaust flow.

If you want to go all out, get a SMSP or Hytech header/exhaust system. It costs more, but it combines the midrange of a 4-2-1 with the high end of a 4-1. Best of both worlds.
