[QUOTE="carcoolguy9, post: 1316956, member: 325485"] I have a 1997 Honda Accord and the headers are completely rusted out. I looked at them the other day and its pretty bad. I touched the side of it and rust pieces fell to the floor. Anyway So I'm looking into buying new headers to put on the car, but i haven't found the exact replacement ones and i figured well as long as I'm replacing them I may as well upgrade a little. First, is it difficult to change the headers myself? What would be special concerns to watch out for? Second, I have seen replacement ones that are two pieces that need to be bolted together and ones that are all one piece. Which would be better? Third, they are available in a ceramic finish, painted steel, or chrome. Chrome won't look very good so which of ceramic and painted steel would be better/last longer/give the best performance? Fourth, on one of the websites I looked at they had a tuned header and a non-tuned header. What does a tuned header do better for the performance of the engine? Finally, do headers really give a noticeable performance gain? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
