Current Header Options

Im contemplating picking up some headers, but Im not sure what my current options are. I know comptechs are an option, just way out of my price range.

Ive heard about the DC sports and the xs's (out of stock still?). Are these 3 the only options? What should I expect to pay?

The latest batch of DC Ceramic headers are just fine, as they've fixed all the horrible welds from all the stories of cracks that you've heard.

the only low or non-risk header is the Comptech (which is a main reason why they're so expensive, that and the Carb). the others like DC and XS can work out well too, but it seems like there is a risk.

the reason i got the Comptech header is b/c i don't have time to be in and out of the shop in case something does happen. i just wanted to install it and never worry about it again. a little more $$$ but piece of mind
