Default Any Info on DC Sports H22 Header w/ 2.5" Collector?

Sorry, I couldn't find any past threads on this. The header thread we have only mentions the existance of it, but no info.

Does anyone have this? Please share your opinions or impressions of it. How does it compare to a Greddy header w/ a 2.5" collector mod done to it?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the available H22 headers at:
http://www.dcsports.com/product_headers_app.asp

Anyone know any websites that are selling this specific model online? Thanks.

Do not waste money on headers unless they are RMF, SMSP or similar.

Only very well engineered headers make good HP on h22.

Im talking the diff of 1-2hp to 15-20 with a high quallity one TUNED.

Well, obviously, a $1000+ header is an easy answer to give, but that's not what I'm asking.

Anyone know if they increased the size of the primaries on the new DC? Or is it just a new collector, and that's it?

A Dc header is alot better then a stock header. For 280 bucks you cant beat it........ Oh and a SMSP header will only have big gains if you Port the head and put some good *** cams into it..... Other then that, SMSP headers will maybe make 2-5 more then a DC header on a stock motor... $250 or 1000$$ Bling Bling

SMSP header on a stock engine is like a huge turbo and a small intercooler .. the parts have to match the type of tuning the motor will be built for .. drag header on a circuit track might not be the best bet.. I personally like the JUN unitt ..

wrong

both of you guys seem to be forgetting, there are multiple people who have put down 200whp on a stock h22a with an smsp....just i/h/e and tuned.....yes the smsp will help more and more as you flow more and more, but its no pig on a stock motor....same thing with the rmf, and dtr, or anything in that league of headers, look for gains in the 15whp+ range....

no offense to you, but i think it be pretty dumb to spend over 1000 on a header to have it get banged up , if i had a lude id prob get a high quality header, but because i have a hybrid, there are other things i have to consider other then just power gains, so for the money I think the dc is a good choice.

Yeah but your also paying for better quality with the $1000 header over the $250 DC. take into consideration how many times you will have to replace the DC over the RMF or SMSP because it cracks or something. Better gains, more money, better quality. But still no one has answered the original posters question and i have no idea lol.

wrong...here is a picture of a "scraped" header, at two different degrees of damage--mild and severe, with good welds...



As you can see the quality of the SMSP, even with damage no welds failed.

also wrong...SMSP makes custom headers, meaning he can make a performance header optimal for all applications--from stock blocks to fully built heads.

Well then you're plans must not be very great. With that being the case you're better off just staying with your stock manifold. Just buy yourself some nice stickers

can we all just agree to disagree? everyone has different opinions about what to spend on a header. i personally cannot see myself spending $1000 on a header for my daily driver (i own a megan header). a track car maybe, but not my daily driver. but seriously, can we get back to the original question here!!!! i would like to know as well.

yeah, $1000 for a header is not reasonable IMO...**** you can buy a full set of forged pistons and rods for that much.....

I have put a whole new bottom on a DC out of 2". And it picked it up quite A bit.
And I'm pretty sure that a coated Prelude RMF is a couple hun shy of a G.
