Please DO NOT Post In The General Section
From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

Its depends on how much you willing to spend. Remember you get what you pay for I prefer smsp,headertech,an-r speed sure aint cheap.
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.

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...

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

Speculation, no...it is the same 4-2-1 design.
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
