This all depends on your budget. I believe Hytech will net you the most HP, but it is quite pricey and there is usually a long wait. I would recommend the Comtech header do to it's overall quality and semi-reasonable price. It gives a pretty decent gain as well.

doesn't the comptech have a rattle. or was it the dc header.

if youre asking the forums im pretty sure they arent going to say anything
if youre asking the people in the forums then im pretty sure theyre gonna tell you to search

theres nothing negative about him telling you to search

maybe you should try it

hes right.. theres billions of threads on "the best header"

as stated before, if money is no object, go hytech but you will have to either buy the hytech exhaust also or modify an aftermarket exhaust's B-pipe to fit the header. The hytech is longer than the other headers on the market from DC and comptech etc.

edit: i believe john at Hytech may have one header in stock so there would be no wait time... thats a plus.

The price is worth it given the gains

No rattle here

Some automatics have the rattle. The DC's have the hissing flex-pipe and flex-pipe separation.

DC & Comptech were the low-end;

If you want the "best in gain", you should look into a real Race Header. There's Mugen, Maxim, Hytech, T1R and several others. The Hytech Exhaust system (from header all the way to cat back) will give you the BEST gain so far, the quality is top notch but you have to wait due to limited production. It is the best if you are looking to pair w/ Hondata K-Pro.

best bang for the buck- Topspeed.
Best performance- race headers like Maxim and Hytech. The prices are hight and wait is long.

+1 | MaximWorks / M-Bit Japan ... They are also an exclusive JGTC exhaust manufacturer.

DC sports ive used on all my honda's/ acura's and so do all my friends, according to hondata the toda header makes the most power and best quality but toda prices

IMHO, its not about having the best header... its the whole exhaust system from the header to the muffler if you know what I mean. the whole system has to work together and flow well. You can have the best header, and then bad piping with too many bends and a restrictive muffler, then the header would be useless.
ie. installing high lift and longer duration cams but not upgrade valve train, the valves will float
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
