Default Header Question

I have an 01 neon 2.0 & I'm looking to put a header on it & I would like to know what headers are good choices? I have a cat-back exhaust from Option Racing waiting to go on but would like to find a header first.

im not a fan of the hearders from pacesettter, as they are just painted black once they get hot the paint burns off then they rust.
a stainless one or ceramic coated one is what I'd buy

not hijack the thread or anything, but just a question...

cllwyrc doesn't mention what else he has done to his engine, but say you just have basic mods..I.E. a catback exhaust and a CAI... would putting on headers do anything for you?

you obviously cant see them on a Neon, they come off behind the engine... just wondering if it would be for sound? (seems like sound differenece would come from beyond the cat).. or would it actually make a performance difference on a stock engine?

the only reason Id consider a header is the stock manifolds are crap
(cracked two so far)

Does anyone know much about Option Racing? I have their cat-back exhaust waiting to be put on and was thinking about buying the same brand header.

Never heard of them. Looking at their website makes me believe that they are just a wholesaler of Chinese-made parts. Then again, what isn't made in China anymore...

I have gotten some stuff from option they have nice stuff. I got a cf filter from them and also got 2 racing cf mufflers from them for my 1st gen. Modern is where I got my header and some other of my engine goodies. Very nice stuff indeed.
