I would think they're garbage. As what some people said, there isn't that much gain and I would assume it'll fall apart within months.
To be honest with you...anything Ractive is garbage. If you're looking for actual performance, then stay away from that stuff. Otherwise, you're just gonna run into problems and headaches.

There's nothing wrong with the Ractive headers! I think some of these ppl are talking out of thier ***! You don't get that much hp gain out of any header. You get some hp gains but not a huge amount!
Anyone that has put them down, have you seen these headers? They are nice and will surprise you at the quality! I hate having to say the same **** over and over, there's some nice stuff and some **** stuff! Give credit when credit is due! Geesh! You buy one crappy item and all of a sudden everything they make is crap!
Just remember a lot of this stuff is made by one company and others will put thier name on it. eg. APC

But I would avoid Ractive stuff like the plague...
To many PERSONAL bad experiences...
Price point is good, quality of parts bad....

Ractive headers aren't that bad. Sure the welds might be a little sloppy, the brackets don't line up properly, and the flanges look plain. It doesn't cost $1500!
As long as the flanges don't warp on you in a day, your good.
Any decent tubular header will flow significantly better than the factory cast manifold... Even Ractive ones!
Do they make headers for the ZC? Last time I checked, you need a header off the 1st Gen Teg.

get the ractive header for the civic (Si DX same ****)
run it on the car for a couple of days
when you take it off the crabon will show you where you need to port it
if i can remember it's a bit to the drivers side on all 4 runners just a bit
take it from someone thats had it on the same motor and stop taking advice from people that don't know ****
