i say if you dont have to abide by carb laws just get an ebay header. i got one for $100 and it was fine. never cracked or anything like that.

well you got what you paid for ebay headers arent for performance you spend 1000 you may not get 1000hp but in the long run if you wanna build your motor down the line thats the first thing youd probably get rid of soooo

Save yourself an assload of money and get an EX header from a junkyard, or try ebay or something. The other headers are just like the EX header, just have a nice chrome finish and other crap. Not worth it IMO. But if you have some extra DOUGH, and you want some brand name sh!t than go for it. peaCe...Comment

proof please...
some measurements of the inlet ports, the collector...
maybe even a dyno sheet would be nice...
otherwise it's pure speculation...RIP Lifsatrip7

The inlet ports are slightly smaller than the aftermarket ones, its so small its unoticeable (i know this cause i measured compared to a chikara) (not sure about other brands to be honest). and dyno wise, I will try and help you find the one I have, post it ASAP. Speculation, no...it is the same 4-2-1 design.Originally posted by ZigenBallZ

same basic design perhaps... but not the same internal construction and diameters... and you yourself said the stock EX manifold is smaller... so it will become a bottleneck at some point...even a tiny difference can affect flow...Originally posted by Nycxeracer

did you measure the collector? that's the killer...
even an EX gets a hp gain from going to a DC header... that's a fact...
it's not like the EX was meant as a performance model... not all 4-2-1 designs are equal...
so basically all I'm saying is that mod for mod an aftermarket header will have an edge over the stock EX 4-2-1 manifold...RIP Lifsatrip7

I'm not trying to best you or prove you wrong or anything bro...
I just don't think it's accurate to say that the EX manifold is comparable to something aftermarket.... with some obvious exceptions like Pacesetter...
sure it'll give you nice felt gains on an LX/DX but it's not so wise in the long run if you are doing a lot of modding...you'd be wasting money if you're just going to go aftermarket later...
if you want to keep it close to stock or incredibly mild then I will agree with you though and say it's probably a good idea...and def better than the LX/DX 4-1 hunk o iron manifold...RIP Lifsatrip7
