I've been shooping the market for about 2 months now looking for the best set of headers and on most cars it would be a no brainer and i'd go right to dc sports but i havent heard too many things about thier headers for our 7thgens so for the best performance which headers do i go for?

I have a ractive CAI and a Vibrant Exhaust with 2.5 piping goin to it
It might help a bit I guess. I have the Dc Sports but I got it for practically nothing cause the shop owned me. I got it for looks mostly to be honest. I hear good things about Kamakazi brand too.
Right on. Do you suggest i go for something else first or do you think the getting headers is a good decision?
I wouldn't really know what you should get next. Lets put it this way...Honda Tuning took a DC Sports header, cat back exhaust, and intake and made less than 5 horses. So, if you just want to pretty up your engine bay a bit I say get it. If I were you I would get a rear sway bar and lower tie bar. I bought the Progress one and it comes with both....by far the bEST thing I did to my car. I got pics if you want to see them too.
Looks good. Was it expensive at all. Another thing was i was thinking about getting some coilovers as well but i heard it ruins the ride. I still use my vic as a daily driver, do you think coilovers are gunna take away from my evryday ride?

By modding your rear suspesion with the sway bar and progress lower tie bar, how did it affect your handling? The sway bar thicker than stock?
Depends what kind of coilovers you get. I have driving in some cars where I could not tell it had coilovers (Tein) and some cars that felt like the suspension was welded solid and road like crap for a daily driver (JIC).
The sway bar helped handling awesome! It is much thicker than the stock one and much stiffer. It helps out body roll big time.
Another thing is once the whole exhaust is done what would you say is the next best thing under the hood i could go for to keep gettin sufficent hp gain?

Honestly...with our engines...after you have intake, header and exhaust I would say the next step for more power would be either nitrous or a custome turbo.

Is the tail end of the car a little bit more wild with the less body roll? Can really put the car where you want it?
