Which is the best Header and Carbon-Fiber Hood?

By how much does the Carbon-Fiber reduces weight? And is it a good at improving performance??

for headers, get Headertech! hands down the best headers around in my opinion.

for a cf hood. get Fiber image. love it! it wont crack like other cf hoods. as popular as vis is, vis still cracks. i seen many vis hood with cracks. you can lay a fiber image hood down, walk all over and there wont be a scratch, dent or a crack. best cf hood for the money in my opinion.

dc 4-2-1, and i would go with vis also....and although it will reduce the weight, its not gonna be so much that you would even notice, and there arent any performance gains to having a cf hood, at least not in my personal experience.....but they sure look good thats for sure

dont get anything but an OEM shaped hood, the other ones are riced out s**t... an OEM shape will match the factory lines of your car the best, making it look cleaner.

and as for the headers, i agree with thenotoriusmogg on getting 4-2-1's best power and torque.. i hear the dc's are a little bit better though.

get a VIS hood, whatever style you want, but I would say powercore headers. Tests say theyre s**t is the best for a B16A

HEADER: I would go 4-2-1 one piece from DC. You will get performance in low and high rpms all around vs. 4-1 only in high rpms.

CF HOOD: Fiber images is the best. Like anekin007 said you could walk right over them, jump and more and they will not break, crack or scratch. I know I own an OEM CF Hood from them. Go to their website and see the video for yourself. Fiberimages.com PLUS: You get a 1 yr warranty with the hood too.
The VIS cf hood my brother as one and it's heavier than mine and his is cracked cause some moron decided to hate and jump on his hood. Bastered.

PERformance with hoods: None just less weight in the front you will feel a slight difference of the light guarranteed.

the vis weight is almost the same as a oem hood. for fiber image, you can tell a difference. you can lift it up with your pinky finger.

what motor do you have?

Wow all you of recomend fiber images. Do you guys know how much they charge for a hood, they are pretty damn expensive. They do alot of custom work but i dont think its worth spending that much money. Just stick wit VIS

well think about it 92CivicVX
VIS=$325-360
FI=$550

Yes the cost more but the quality is the best Grade A.
If the VIS hood breaks of cracks you probably have to buy another or put back the stock hood.
FI they give u 1yr warranty and they don't break.

I rather pay $550 one than $325-360 twice.

wow.. never thought there would be so many options and opinions in my thread... but i have decided to go for the DC 4-2-1 since I agree with most of you and that I heard a lot of good words for it.

In regards to cf hood, i still have time to decide since i don't want to get it when winter is coming.!

thanks guys!
