performance headers
 
what is a good brand of headers for a LS motor thanks and if anyone knows where i can get a cheap par of these headers let me know thanks.

You don't have more than 1 header on your car...so its actually just header. :yeah:

DC sports makes lower priced header for you car, compared to others. 4-2-1 ceramic header can be found occasionally in the 'for sale' section if you're looking to save a few $$$. They usually have good ground clearance unlike a stacked 4-1 header, if you're dumped.

On an LS motor my choice in header design is a 4-1. As for brands Im unsure these days who makes a decent header for hondas/acuras.

Truth is headers don't make a huge amount of power in Honda motors. The stock headers are pretty hard to improve upon if you don't have mods that require them. Larger gains are made with built engines or FI applications but in stock form it's only a couple hp. The biggest benefit is weight savings. Stock headers are pretty heavy. The upside to staying with the stock one is they're pretty hard to break - I've already had my Vibrant 4-1 repaired once already with very little mileage on it. Big power gains can be had by Comptech and those custom equal length headers that are all bendy and weird looking. But that costs a lot of dough. I mean you can do a motor build for that much money. For bang for buck nothing beat modifying the stock header. Most aftermarket header make most of their power with the larger collector. Here's a 'how to' from the HADA board tech corner:

We call it moosifying. My brother runs it on his car as do a bunch of HADA members. You get roughly 70-5% of the power gains from an aftermarket header for about 50 bucks from a muffler shop - but you keep your factory quality and reliability. It's just another point of view. But keep researching. You'll find a lot of manufacturer claims are hype and the quality is lower than that of a stock unit.
