Help me pick a Header

Aight guys I need some input from you about your experience with the below Headers. These are the three Im looking at purchasing. I will probably High Heat powdercoat And Heat wrap anyone of these so finish does not matter, its performance and quality Im concerned with.They will be mated to Aspec test pipe and probably Tusudo cat back. Post up please.

honestly, i doubt that the OBX is worth wrapping with anything... they make cheap parts... as for megan, well there was good comments about them, but still low to mid quality product... as for the Weapon R street header, it's a good bang for the buck, but you might get fitment issues... i was going with a used one and have it ceramic coated, but i was too slow... ended up buying a DC sports header for the price of a coating and i don't have a doubt about the build quality!

None of the above. Get the DC used and don't wrap it with anything. Header wrap is a header killer, it gathers moisture and holds it against the metal where it can do the most damage. And being as how the header on the Fit is behind the engine where you are unlikely to ever look at it, the damage can become crippling before you are aware it has begun. The Fit doesn't generate enough underhood heat to bother wrapping the header in any case, I would strongly recommend you skip the wrap regardless of which header you choose.

anyway, the first purpose of the ceramic coating is to retain heat, it also makes it corrosion resistant...

So after extensive research ive decided not to get a header at all. From what I found the header doesn't make good power gains. If any torque is transferred from low end to high end. Also told mostly they add noise to exhaust. Im not into that whole loud is better thing. Cat back seems to be the route im going to go with test pipe for now.

Thanx for the responses.
