5th Gen. Prelude Header..??...What to get?
I have been searching and have found only two:
DC sports
Pacesetter..(not even sure says 97-99)
I have heard that the Stock is Better than DC sports....
So should I just remove my stock header and heat wrap it and put it back on to run cooler?......Any Info will help.

SMSP, HyTech ... but they come with a VERY hefty pricetag... OR you could get a Mugen header... which also costs A LOT, The Hytech is like $1300, Mugen $950, and the SMSP if I am right is like $1100? ... I don't think you LOSE HP w/ a DC header, but you don't really gain much on a lude...

also look at the fujitsubo, the prospeed, and the kamikaze.
do a search here and on hondatech for these headers. they're not as $$$ as the other ones mentioned, but they're also not as easy to install (some modifications necessary to exhaust system)

Don't wrap a header ... stock or aftermarket. I made this mistake and my header was destroyed in a little over a year. If you want to keep heat in and under hood temps down, send the header to JetHot, HPCoatings, or other quality coating company.

Either way it's still an ass load for a bolt-on, but those ones at least give gains, unlike DC and Pacesetter. Only way I would buy one of those is if my OEM cracked and I couldn't find a replacement one for a good price.

i wouldn't get the DC Sport. not nearly enough gains to even warrant going through the time and money to get one installed. i've heard a lot of good things about the Mugen header though. they only cost you about 900 BUCKS!!!!! the price we pay for decent gains.......
