Which brand of headers would you suggest for a 97 Accord Se? I have looked at DC, and Greddy and a few others and i cat decide. If you have a personal experience with any of them please tell me how you feel. And also what is the difference between 4-2-1 and 4-1?

I would look on ebay for some headers they aren't name brand but they are a helluva lot cheaper. The 4-1 headers are apparently better but harder to install than the 4-2-1 headers. Anyway check out ebay they should have tons for very little money.

Hey,
The Ceramic ones can take more heat from the engine but with your car I don't think it will be an issue and you could use the stainless steel headers. It all depends on what you are going to be doing... if you are racing and you think your engine is going to be pushed really hard you should probably get the ceramic ones, but know that they are really for the most extreme conditions and otherwise the metal ones should be fine.

I would go with DC, I have the Ceramic ones on my 90 LX and I love em. I would stay away from cheap rip offs found on ebay.
