"good header" is really vague. I can find you a great header but it'll cost you $1000. What is your price range? What are you using it for? How much power do you want?

And would it kill you to search? This question has been asked and answered tons of times and we have a Header FAQ stickied at the top of the section.

I would just get DC Sports. These are great headers and CARB approved.

Eh, I wouldn't call DC Sports "great". More like par.

Well these are the only one's I can use in California. I've been pretty happy with this brand.

I honestly think the DC Sports ones are more expensive then they should be. The ceramic ones tend to crack after a while and they are the same exact design as the Megan Racing ones. The Megan Racing header I purchased for 115 dollars shipped has gone beyond my expectations as far as a cheap, quality part goes. You'd be looking at 300+ shipped for a DC Sports header.

i just put a pair of 4-2-1 megan racing headers on my car w/ a magnaflow catback exhaust and the difference these headers make over the stock headers was pretty noticeable.

exactly my opinion. Megan Racing is almost exactly the same.

Yea, when I looked around at headers I couldn't exactly figure out why there was so much of a price difference between the two. The only difference was that the DC Sport you could get in ceramic, which I didn't want anyways. They are almost identical in design and build quality, but the Megan Racing one is 200 dollars cheaper. I could see picking up something like a Tri-Y if you were really wanting to go all out, but in this case I think the Megan Racing header is by far the better purchase.
