Im looking to get headers for my V6 Accord (Coupe) but don't know what is the best headers with the highest resulting performance. I was looking @:
OBX: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-R...30515507QQrdZ1
DC-Sports: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DC-SP...25761949QQrdZ1
Megan: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MEGAN...27747888QQrdZ1
T-Pros: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T-Pro...27272490QQrdZ1

They also have ceramics for the OBX headers but I don't know whats the difference in performance between ceramic coated or the normal stainless steel. Does anyone recommend NON-NAME Brand headers or they have to be name brand to be good?

Thanks

 

id say go with ceramic if you can afford it, something to do with how the heat is dispersed

 

I'm getting ready to buy headers for my car too and I decided on OBX ss. I have been told by sources on this site that OBX are good quality, value, designed for performance, and they come with a lifetime manufacturer guaruntee against defects. DC sports is not a bad choice at all either, same pros as the OBX ones but more expensive. Ceramic should be good for heat dispersion like Fenix said but they will rust over time.
I would not waste my time on the no name brands, the welds tend to be weak and give out after time.

 

Hi, thanks for giving me inputs about these things. I thought OBX is good too but just wanted to make sure thats its not just name brand but it really does work. Slusher...u mentioned ceramic is good but rusts over time? If thats the case...would the stainless steel be better since the rust could infect other parts inside the engine or causes damages...i dunno about this. The word "rust" over time just creeps me out because these arn't cheap...around $300. Haha...Thanks

 

Ive got a set of OBX ss headers on my 4cyl and I havent had any problems with them so far I havent heard anything about ceramic headers rusting though.

 

Ceramic headers use a cheaper kind of metal and then are ceramic coated. The less dense a metal is the better it is at dispersing heat, hence stainless will not cool down or dispense heat as easily. On good headers the ceramic coating should increase exhaust flow a little bit more, nothing drastic though. If you bought QUALITY ceramic headers I would not worry about rust happening for a while and even if it did, more particles should get pushed out then go back in. I actually hope no particles would go back into the engine. Bottom line, if don't want any chance of rust go with ss. I might be a little biased though...

 

dont worry about rust get whatever you want i have stainless steel megan racing headers and my brother has ceramic headers on his corolla theres not a big difference between the two and neither of them have rusted
