DC or Mugen headers?? Which is better performance?

And for DC headers is steel or that ceramic thing better???

thankz

 

is this a joke?

 

Depends on how much you have to spend. Most people don't like DC because of the quality.

I say go with Mugen (the real one, not ebay mugen) if you have the money. If you choose DC, go with the SS (stainless steel).

Or you can use the search function.

 

hit it right in the middle. go Me<FONT COLOR="red">g</FONT>an Racing, really good quality header. Better constructed than DC, costs less, better gains (after collector mod), and if someone looks real quick they might think it says mugen

but seriously: Me<FONT COLOR="red">g</FONT>an

 

DC and Mugen should not even be compared with one another.

Why not?

DC header = not worth the money for the power.
You'll be better off with a Greddy header, or mugen (but tends to be alot more expensive)

If you want a header that will make more power you might be interested in the SMSP header. Great header, more expensive but makes a shitload more power

while we're on the topic of RMF headers.. why are they shaped the way that they are, i mean the runners? I don't understand why they go up when coming out of the head, or does this promote velocity? I'm starving for education on the matter.

Lol

 

OK I will tell you.I'm getting all of the length that I need up above.Because I can't go under the car .There is no room

 

Rocks!
But... any way to keep the aircon with your header? It gets real hot down here at the equator.

 

The A/C lines in the picture are still installed. I would wrap the header, and also wrap the A/C lines by the header in the heat reflective wire harness wrap.

Not really necessary if the header is internally and externally coated as RMF headers are (unless the header is ordered in SS)

 

Ive used DC, it gives u only marginal gains over stock. But they are cheap for what they are.

Now Im using Mugen, it is double the price of DC but more than double the performance. Its still worth it for the extra bucks.

I will be switching to SMSP soon, it cost more than the Mugen. Dynos have proven it makes huge power increase that no other production headers can match its performance. It is the best bang for the buck even for what its worth, as you are paying the top notch quality and performance. I highly recommend.

 

I think the greddy is the perfect middle of the road header, the best HP/cost ratio. At only $355 shipped, its hard to beat for the price

Here is what I wrote in a similar post.

I say its worth the extra $100 or so on the megan header that someone else suggested. The only megan dyno I've seen so far has been on an H23, and it did show good gains, however, obviously the two motors (H22 and H23) are different. Also I've heard alot about the bracket snapping off and taking some of the header with it... . I say Greddy for the best HP/Cost ratio</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

SMSP Headers.... Where can i buy these?? do you guys have a website i can check out??
