I am looking into getting a header for my car but im not sure what kind i should get, Brands? Stainless or ceramic? 4,2,1 or 4 to 1? I also heard that a header will change my exuahst note? thanks -Scott-

 

a header will make the exhaust tone deeper. anyways, everyone will tell you to search... this has been covered a million times... here's all i'm gonna say:

get a dc sport stainless 4,2,1 header. end of story. its the most common, and it'll provide you with what you probably want.

 

which one are you talking about...4-2-1 One-Piece Headersor 4-2-1 Two Piece Headers?

 

get 2 piece, easier to install.

 

does the header make a noticeable difference in performance? is it really worth it? how much do they usually run for (the one you mentioned)?

 

the header does not make a noticeable difference in performance. it is not really worth it imo. it's more about appearance than anything else. dc usually runs from $260-350 ish. megan racing usually runs about 200

 

which one do you have? which one do you prefer performance-wise? which one do you prefer for looks and design?

 

Megan will do you just fine, but if you live in Cali, DC are techinically carb legal, so you're gonna pay an arm and a leg to get one since they will pass emissions. I noticed a LITTLE gain with my ebay header, i imagine a nice name brand would give you better results thouhg. 4-2-1 is what you want, and ceramic disappates heat better than the stainless.

But seriously... if you want great performance out of a header, get a Bisi. They gain around 10hp at the wheels on a stock civic. In fact, Bisimoto headers tend to outperform $1200 and up headers. And the price tag isn't too high (it's about the same as a decent cat-back exhaust); around $500.

will the bisi fit my 99 civic lx automatic sedan? i tried lookin for the dc and megan but couldnt find any.
