I wanted to to get some opinions on used headers? Are they good or bad or would i just be better off buying some new headers. Im intrested in the Spoon 4-2-1 headers. Thanks, Alex

 

i bought a used toda header, put 2k miles on it and it works fine. but you can't go wrong with getting a new header~

 

Just don't get DC Sports

 

why?? I thought DC's are good and well respected........

 

The general consensus on here is that DC sports doesn't gain any power and may possibly lose power. I have yet to find any real good info showing that however. Feel free to give this a read as well. Has some good info on aftermarket headers.

The spoon header doesn't seem to fair to well on there though. I would probably look into the Berk or Ricks header. They don't cost a fortune and seem to yield some gains, IMO of course

 

Rick's or Berk would be best gain for the $$. Otherwise J's or Mugen would be my second choice if $$ wasn't an issue.

 

As long as it is in good shape your good to go with used ask questions before you buy
I have a Megan header it is a J's Racing knock off. It looks good and makes power

 

Hey Puddy- How is the wrap treating you on the Megan Header- have you checked to see if it was still in good shape after being wrapped. I am debating on wrapping my header since the heatsheilds are gone. I have a homemade vented hood but I still seem to get a little heatsoak from the header itself. Thanks

 

DC header for the S2K is poor. I don't know if there is any hard evidence that it loses power, but there is certainly evidence that it doesn't gain you any power. It's only good for weight loss, so if you get one free, install it.. otherwise, save money for a header with better design.
