Default Headers

I got my S2000 8 months ago and I have installed a K & N cold air Intake, an Invidia Cat-Back exhaust, and I want to install new headers. Any advice on which header is the best?

I have a comptech, but everyone seems to really like Ricks - and I think it's less expensive. If money's no object -----> amuse! If money matters you can take the KIA approach and buy an OBX-R (junk, but it IS a header) Good luck! This whole "what aftermarket part is better/best" sure can get confusing!

^with that logic though, you're best to just leave the car alone. The car already HAS a tuned header from the factory. All the kids running around with "insert brand header here" their modded civics and sentras go and buy headers that are... you guessed it... probably as good or worse than the one that the S2000 already comes with. The headers that make more over stock are so expensive because they include MUCH research and design time.

With that said, the aftermarket header's weight svings is also something to consider.
