Default best headers for the price??

I have been wanting to get headers for my 96 Honda Civic EX but I only have a little over $200. Can anyone recommend what would be the best ones I could get for that much?

If you are running a stock set up in your motor, I would not suggest purchasing a header. You will lose so much power, it's unbelievable. I put a 4-2-1 header w/ 2.5" piping in my stock civic, and I lost a significant amount of power. The reason behind that is the velocity of your exhaust has been decreased, because you are now pushing that pressure through a bigger pipe. I went ahead and did it anyway, because I knew I was going to put a turbo kit on it. Just food for thought. I wouldn't do that unless you are going to get a turbo. Even then, you will be replacing your header, because it's a much different set up when you turbo your engine. I really wouldn't waste your money. It will sound cool, though....
