Default Powercore header on EX, or any other besides DC

Has anyone tried the Powercore stainless steel header. Landspeed Racing i think is the only place that sells it. It got like 6-7 WHP on a test a few months back in Turbo mag, which is more than DC i think makes. It also looks to be better constructed, it had thicker stainless steel flanges, compared to the DC ones which tend to rust.

Or anyone recomend any other one besides DC. One that you can actually feel the power inscrease, even though its not a lot.

Thanks

I used a Powercore race cat from Landspeed on my 1995 Si when it was mostly stock and had the D16 engine in it. It worked great out of the box until I sharted having exhaust problems 6 months later. I pulled the Powercore cat to find that the perforated core was damaged and bent up inside. VERY BADDLY. I think I still have it laying around somewhere, I can post a photos if needed.

IMO, I'd buy a different high flow cat rather than the Powercore.

Oh, guess I must be "dislexic" after all. Sorry no experience with the header, but IMO if the cat has any indication, I personally would even consider it.
