DC headers vs imitaties
Alright fellas..
Whats the real deal with the DC's compared to these pretty much exact replicas?
I just purchased a 4-1 header for my b16a2... Seems to be the same thing as the dc's
If for any reason it is a bad purchase and i should spend another 150 for the name... fill me in now
¿?
thanks

I have a DC 4-2-1 header for my Si and it gave very noticeable gains from 5500 to the rev limiter. Well worth every penny. Ordered from http://www.overboost.com for 383 shipped. Its stainless steel

my SiR-G exhaust manifold outperformed the DC I had tried on my car. The Header I got was from a b16 also. The only difference is the brackets for mounting the header didnt lign up..

Re: (athoughts)
I bought a Megan racing stainless header for my Civic EX. Honestly its a good quality header. The welds are fine and the flanges are thick. For the 100bux I paid its fine.
I mainly got it because the stock header/manifold cracked. Which I hear is a common problem with EX's becasue the heat shield keeps all the heat in.
