i have money now and plan on putting a header on my 96 dx. wondering what the best one to get would be. would one off ebay be okay or should i go with a name brand? also about the converter. i know mine is on the stock manifold. i have a magnaflow high flow converter but its 3" in and out...overkill? or would this be usable if i got pipe reducers? will a header make my gas mileage better? i know it did on my camaro but just wondering. im getting like 27mpg right now.

 

if you haven't already, go buy a bottle of "seafoam." it cleans off carbon deposits and other crap from your car. it'll definitely increase your gas mileage.

for your header, i think you should try to shy away from ebay. some crack over time. the cheapest company i would go with is megan racing. their quality is very good for the price.

if you live in california, you'll need a dc sports header because it has the CARB sticker that you need to pass emission testing.

 

yeah, actually i seafoamed my car about a month ago. so can i use my converter or should i get a different one? howmuch am i lookin to pay for a decent header

 

megan is like 150-200. dc is anywhere from 200-350.

the cat that you have on right now should be fine. provided that the rest of the exhaust system is smaller in diameter, you won't notice low end tq loss

 

ok. thanks for the help
