Best Headers - HondaClub.com

People always talk about what headers are out there. There is no official thread, so I'm going to start one here and maintain this thread. I will be posting pictures of each one. Also, if anyone has a before and after dyno of any headers, let me know so I can make the links as well. If you are running a header not listed here, get me some pictures, etc. etc.

What you want out of a header depends on how you drive. Certain headers will give you lots of low-end torque, while some will trade torque for peak horsepower. Some will give you more mid-range. Headers are tuned for a sweet-spot of about 600 RPM where they give the most power. They are tuned pipes, like a pipe organ. If you want to know which header is the best, for you, ask the manufacturer where the RPM tuning is. Or figure out all the math and DIY.

Go with the DC sport headers the 4-n-1 they are the best the 4-2-1 give you more top end though.
