Im looking at buying one of these 2 headers off jdmshit.com

JSR (JDMsh!t Racing) B-series 4-1 SS Header * NEW *
* Exact Replica to Mugen 4-1 Header
* 2.5" Collector Size (Need 2.5" Cat Converter)
* Polished Stainless Steel

OR

JSR (JDMsh!t Racing) B-series 4-1 CC Header
* Exact Replica to OEM Integra Type R 4-1 Header
* 2.5" Collector Size (Need 2.5" Cat Converter)
* Ceramic Coated|

which header do you guys think would give me the most horsepower?? The ITR header looks to me like it flows better..also i have a dc sports 4-1..should i just keep it or go for the other one.

What is the price on either of those headers? You can get an RMF header that's built specifically for a b16 from Mainstream for right at 500 that would blow either of those headers away.

You will probably see very minimal gains with either one of those headers. I have the JDM DC w/ 2.5 collector and I am saving up to buy the RMF header. The DC w/ 2.5 inch collector usually runs around 295 for the ceramic. It is the best bang for the buck header but won't make near the power of the RMF, ANR, or Hytec headers. But with any of those you are looking at a good bit more investment money wise. I have been through three different headers on my setup and if I had it to do over again I would definately have waited and gotten the RMF to begin with. It leaves much more to gain as you do more to your car, especially if you are planning on staying NA. If you have future boost plans I say don't do anything but if you want to stay NA do yourself a favor and save a bit more and get the RMF. You'll be glad you did later.

If you want something at a lower cost I hear the JDM DC 4-1 is the best bang for the buck.

^^^If you go back and read what I wrote in my last post you will see that I said the JDM DC w/ 2.5 inch collector is the best "bang for the buck" however, it will not come close to the power the other headers I mentioned will make. You will be better off spending the 500 and getting the RMF, IMO. From someone who has a JDM DC 4-1 header and is saving to get an RMF.
