DC Sports headers' are designed lower to the ground rather than stock. Plus it doesn't help when people drive like dumbass' over bumps and **** knowning their cars are lowered. The main problem is the driver, not the product.

The JDM ITR 4-1 header is designed very well, plus the down-pipe sits is a lot higher. Dynos even prove greater peformance at high-end compared to after market headers anyway.

BTW, you are losing A LOT of power with those dents. Might even cause some slight engine flooding and back pressure - have fun ruining your engine and gaskets...

Stock ride height and careful driving shouldn't cause any problems with an aftermarket header.

i agree wit u w00t! , its all about the driver~ i had mine DC headers

since two years ago~ and they still like new~! nice purple color~and i love

it~ paid only $300 so no matter the dollar to performance or the dollar to look

i think the DC is the best header to get~ ^_^ JDM 4-1 costs $400 and looks

crapy, Spoon and Mugen costs $900 a piece, so u tell me about it~! and

performance wise?? i think these JDM headers only make 1 or 2 bhp over

DC's..... LOL

How often do you remove the tires and use your car for a sled?
