You don't get much if any gain from going A/M.  They are not that cheap either.

Take some stock ones, cut off the heat shield brackets and ceramic coat it for the bling ;)

If you can pick up a S/H set of 4-2-1 Super X Fujutsbo headers, go for it if you want a slight lift in performance.
They work well with a 200 cell metal cat and free flowing muffler.
Maybe PM Dylan at Gorilla. He may be able to help you.
 
Re looks:
That top heat shield does actually have an important function in lowering engine bay (and intake manifold) temps.
But you can leave it off if you don't mind less performance otherwise get it ceramic coated.

I have tanabe medalion 4-1 headers for sale, in theory they maximize hp in the high range vs a 4-2-1 like the super x which maximizes it in the mid range.
 
These are a couple of pictures from google that shows you what they look like:
 

 
This is the b-pipe which is also changed so everything from the head to the cat is replaced.
 

 
As far as performance is concerned I didn't drive the car hard enough to be able to say that they make more power, however they weigh alot less then the stock setup, look better and sound better.
 
Fujitsubo Super Ex and Tanabe Medalion are definitely the best JDM headers you'll find but the Super Ex's are expensive new (especially with the crap $$) and the Medalion's have been discontinued for a long time now.

I sent you a message regarding the extractors

These two brands are probably the only ones worth bothering with, but only practical if you can get them S/H, and this stuff is getting harder to find. 
They are full stainless so they will last forever anyway, but they will need brackets to support the bottom of the headers at the block, rather than have all the weight hanging on the head. 
I have found with S/H items these brackets may be missing, so you may have to make them.
 
Fujitsubo Super X headers with the pipes out to the cat weigh about 8 Kg less than stock items, a useful weight reduction at the rear of the car. Not sure about the Tanabe's but they may be similar.
I have the Fuji's on my own car, and I did notice the difference during hard acceleration when I first fitted them.
