Not to be an ars, but unless you dropped a V-8 into your rex, you only have one header. Sorry, but it's a pet peave.

Chikara is the best bang for the money. Only $120 for a whole 4-2-1 header. Its of good construction. Only thing I suggest you do is paint it with some high temp paint since the finish on it comes off in a day.

ehh if ur not planning on spending whole lot of money just keep ur stock header, honda has good engineers at work and they make great stock parts, designed for total performance accross the bandwidth. just my opinion though if u really want to spend ur money there are tons of options out there, but dont expect to get much of a performance gain, cuz ur probably just gonna get a louder sounding exhaust system, by moving to a different header and wont see performance gains.

I'm suprised I didn't pick up on that, it really bothers me too.

That aside, if you are still running the stock engine, don't bother. It's not worth the money IMHO.

Get the header it It will make some difference if you have the other standard bolt ons like an exhaust and CAI. Either that or we have all just been wasting our money on this bolt on stuff when the only real way to make power is a swap. If money is a concern I'm sure you'll find a used one at www.thepartstrader.com I've been told most all d series headers will work on our engine they just need minor modification to your exhaust to fit to because of the different lengths.

What engine do you have? the STock si? I don't know about that one, but I know the ZC header is great (outside of a few extra pounds), and not worht buying an oaftermarket header.
