Advice on Headers...
I want advice on which headers perform the best. I have an 03 EX, and I want headers that will pass emissions, so that leaves out the Kamikaze's 
Any and all input is appreciated.

Rep Power: 374 If you have to have the carb sticker get DC. Otherwise just get any other brand. It will be awhile before you have to have the emissons test and it isn't that hard to take out the header and install the stock one.

Rep Power: 0 Damn dude, do you have to ask?? Nobody has tried every single header for the Ex. They are just going to tell you to get what they have. Search and read about each one. Go DC if you wanna stay leagel though

hey i have tried the dc sports and the hp racing and hp is much better noticed a much bigger gain, dc sports isnt much bigger than stock so its a waste, my hp racing 4-1 header has the carb sticker on it

Rep Power: 0 i would love to have the hp, because they are for off road use only and that allows for alot of airflow, making it illegal of course. it comes with the hight flow cat too for only around $200 or $250. but i heard that it didnt fit manuals right and you had to shave engine mounts or something, what i heard!!??!! if someone can correct me with proof i would consider buying the hp right away myself! i do not want to buy it and have to take it right to a custom shop though!

kamikaze header or hp shorty + random tech. cat (bolt on for EX)
then a catback (Greddy, 5Zigen, Tanabe, etc.)
You could also buy the full HP race header and get an exhaust shop to replace the high flow cat with a universal 2.5' Random Technologies Cat. I bet this would be a sweet setup if you need to pass emissions. I do not think the Cat. that comes with the HP race header will pass an emissions test. Correct me if I am wrong.
