iam having a dilema about wich header to purchase if i decide to buy a new one.... theres many people out there telling me different things and i personally dont know which would be the best one...
any one have any experience with this?
my options are as follows i Either keep my current header which is a --DC Sport 4-1 header with 2.5In. collector, but its pretty dented up in the bottom and i dont know if that could be causing me to lose a couple of ponies or not (ill post a pic of it at the bottom of this post)

-JDM DC2R 4-1 HEADER which can be found anywhere from 300-500 dollars
-Hytech Replica Try-Y 4-2-1 wich will most likely be around 400bucks
-Or go BIG and get a real HYTECH or SMSP header but it would be really costly(is it worth it?)

i would appreciate the comments on which i should buy.... heres a pic of my current one.

 

i would go 4-2-1 one piece. i never have clearance problems

 

that small ass dent is not making you lose not even half of pony lmao

 

^^ haha OBJECTS ON PICS look smaller then they appear!

 

The hytech replica is probably your best bet, but if you got the money an smsp, real hytech, rage or rmf header (if you can find one) would be fucking baller.

 

I hear those ITR replica headers or even the real itr header are decent for the money since you can get a replica for like 200 on ebay.

 

yea it would but, uh, 1k+ for headers is ALOTTT and possibly not even worth it really

 

if it was me i would go OEM Type R

 

jdm r header has a heat shield u can use to keep from smashin it. i have the hytech replica and LOVE it! only problem is you might have to have some fab work done to get the flange to bolt up bc its different on the header. the jdm r header will bolt up to what you have as is so those are the advantages and drawbacks. id say hytech replica is the most hp for the dollar tho!

 

I'd go with the JDM ITR 4-1 header, and just get the skid plates and drive a little slower on bumps, lol.
