Which header would you choose?

OK I found two headers I am interested in. One is a used DC sports 4-2-1 that was cracked, but rewelded. The other is a OBX 4-2-1 is great condition. Both are $60 shipped. Which would you choose?

Honestly, if the DC Sports one doesn't look bad and you can't see the crack/weld I'd go for that one. Just for the name really. I've got one on my car. They're nice.

Did you notice any real diff. in the power with the header?

Yes - I noticed a lot better low end torque and better high end rpm horse power. You'll notice a difference.

DC is a a very reputable company, personally id for them. ive heard alot of bad things about OBX....mainly quality issues.

i hav DC on my integra but i think i lost tourq with them. i kinda see some more top end but the bottom end don't feel so peppy. i would get the DC ones, OBX is some cheep little company thay copy's products.

Well see I am going turbo in the summer so I wanted something for now and sand it down real good and do a good paint job on it then when I go turbo sell it. Should I do this or just use the stock SI mani till summer?

It's up to you really - do you want to spend the money, or save it for your turbo. That's the real question.

See $60 for a DC header doesn't sound bad to me. Plus I can make sure the reweld is good then do a decent paint job on it and sell it later for no less that what I paid for it.

dont paint a header!!!

ya - you can't paint a header, it gets too hot and it'll just melt/burn the paint off. No point in doing it. You have to either ceramic coat it or something. I don't know of any paints that you can use on a header off the top of my head. There may be some though.

you can powder coat it, but i would have it ceramic coated.

theres a company called vht they make good header paint but it is not what i would choose unless i was gonna go black in which case i probably would
