dc headers are a waste of money.

just get an OEM ITR header

unless you wanna make some real good power gains your gonna have to waste $600+

You're going to gain very little with any header (other than full race headers like Bisimoto), even the JDM ITR header. Spend the money on something more important, like suspension, brakes, and tires.

VERY TRUE! A rear swaybar or shock/spring upgrade will make the car much funner to drive for the same amount of money. I had a DC 4-1 header witrh a 2.5" collector mod and it only made 3whp or so over stock. When I crushed that (they hang very low) I went with a usdm ITR header(4-2-1 design with 2.5" collector) and over stock gained no more than 5whp. dynos are archived somewhere in the NA forum.
