I've got obx stainless steel headers and they work juuust fine if you're running a 2.2CL, make sure you get the 94-97 accord 4cyl ones.

Btw, they say that ceramic works better if you're looking for performance, and stainless steel is more durable, little less performance (because it heats up alot faster.)

like I said though, the SS work fine for me :[]

They were going for about 170~ shipped on ebay when I bought mine.

PS - I have been told though that DC-S puts out some good headers too if you have the $$$.

Well, if I remember correctly, I hear that stuff will burn off after a few drives :shrugs: not too sure about that one. But I'll tell you this much, the difference wont be gi-nor-mous or anything. From a reliability POV, go w/the Stainless steel.

Also, they look cool after a couple drives, they turn a cool looking bronze-y type color

Whats so tight about headers discoloring? I think it makes them look like crap.

um... if its a big dent, then probably... i mean, it heats up alot really fast many times, its bound to blow if there are any imperfections in the actual piece...

get that checked out asap.
