Default header preference
i have been looking at headers for my accord and i cant make up my mind. i have seen dc header, pacesetter header, hedman header, toucan header, or a megan header. i am getting a headache just from reading al the info on these different headers. i am mainly debating between the hedman header or dc header? anybody using either of these?

What year of accord do you have? On ebay they have DC Sports headers for 5th gens for about $250 + shipping.

With DC you just gotta watch out for the flex pipe. DC is notorious for having cracked flex pipes for the Accords. It happens 1 outta every 5 header units. If after 4 months, there is no hissing or leaking sound....you got a good header....if there is....you're basically effed.. DCSports has a horrible customer service and they don't cover the cost of a new flex pipe.

thats why you chop off the collector it came and replace with a nice 2.5" collector along with a 2.5" flex pipe

yeah you dont want any bottlenecking, which cuts down on backpressure, which is a good thing.
