Default Dc sports headers or megan racing or ?

ok so i hear everyone saying how much DC sports exhaust systems suck. i never really paid attention because i was not have any problems with my set up, but recently my DC sports headers cracked at one of the welds. I rewelded but apparently the crack was pretty big so it cracked again.

I was looking at Megan racing headers because of the cost. i am trying to preserve a little dough because i just order my swap and all new seals, water pump etc.

So which headers do people find more reliable, DC Sports - Megan Racing - or something else?

I have megan racing headers and i must say they are pretty sturdy for the price. I really cant imagine a significant performance difference between the two so i would say go megan!

Not sure how long you had your dc sports header but those good because already been bench tested. I'm not too certain about megan headers because I'm not sure if really good since it make in china.. I head it good for public driving and not high speed..

My DC sports headers are only a little over a year old, the megan headers i have been looking at have a really attractive price, im not expecting any more HP by going with them though, the specs on both are about the same

Hello sir if you are looking for a quility custom header here is a little information of the Bisimoto Custom V2 header:

The Bisimoto V2 Custom header is a one off a kind header that is designed specifically for your setup. We would send you a spec sheet to fill to gather the information of what is currently in your setup and the header will be designed to extract the most amount of power of your unique setup. The way this process is achieved can be from different length primaries, collector size and a few other key points to make the header more efficient for your setup.

We do offer as well ceramic heat coating that will offer a power increase about 3-4% due to much lower under hood temperature as well as increase the thermal efficiency of the scavenging effect. Also the heat coating looks very cosmetically attractive being that it has a polished look.

Records under Bisimoto Engineering header designs:

World's Fastest and Quickest B-series Pro: 9.7et, on Bisimoto Header

World's Fastest and Quickest B-series Street: 10.4et, on Bisimoto Header

World's Fastest and Quickest H-series Street: 9.98et, on Bisimoto Header design

World's Fastest and Quickest F-series Pro: 9.3et, on Bisimoto Header

World's Fastest and Quickest D-series Pro: 10.7et, on Bisimoto Header

in my past experience dc sports headers rust pretty fast and ive personally never seen a rusty megan racing header. but when you see a used dc sports header its 99% of the time pretty rusty.

I do not like the megan brand headers. I tried one on my 1992 accord. The flex pipe rusted in about 3 months and developed a leak. The flanges were very warped and I had to sand them flat to stop a leak there. The nuts and bolts included stripped out and I had to buy stainless ones from Home Depot. It also hung down very low. Looking back I wish I chose a better brand.

DC sports are junk. The oxygen sensor bung I got had a small hole in it when I first received it. I'll never mess with them again.
