I'm looking at my options for a SOHC D series engine header. I see this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-00-HONDA-CIV ... 35b7df5d31
It looks too good to be true. Stainless and under $100. I have read on here that the EK factory exhaust manifold is pretty good. I can probably find one of those around. Which would be a better option? Or just go for the DC or other high end unit? Saving money on this could free up money for something else. Thanks for all opinions..

Honestly dude thats just run of the mill ebay crap.
as far as im concerned the best bet on a header is craigslist. you can get decent ones in decent shape for $50 most of the time. and sometimes you can get namebrand (such as DC) for around $100. you can also find them on civics in the junkyards sometimes if your lucky.
I got a(forget the brand) 4-2-1 header that was is perfect shape and even heatwrapped for $50 last summer and I was only looking for 2 weeks

I heard that eBay headers are either a hit or a miss. It's almost impossible to tell, because just about every seller has a different product. Just be safe out there and try to do some research. I'd recommend a better known brand, just for reliability's sake.

A one peice header is preferred
ceramic coated is better at keeping heat out
4-2-1 in comparison to 4-1 really isn't much of a differance
For a D Id go for a DC
