No different than your average ebay special. I would venture to say DC is better quality than 99% of the ebay specials.

Hell it's a y8 anyway, it's not like there is going to be a rediculous improvement over stock to start with.

except that they cost 4 times as much and tend to crack... i've had better luck with the ebay headers and they are a LOT cheaper for the same thing.

my friend made 6hp on a megan 4-1 gsr and thats way more than what he made on his dc 4-1 gsr. oh yeah just dont slam your ride or else you run into problems like dents and cracks.

all my friends have better luck on megan and ebay 4-1 stainless itr replica.

if you just want a header to get a header, get a megan. i've run one on my beater for over a year now, no cracks or other problems. also adds to the bling factor of your engine bay. hah.

if you're serious about performance though, save your $$$ and get something better. seriously, there's an 11-page thread on damn good headers right here on the all-motor forum. just take a look.

yeah pay a crapload of money for a DC and get a peice of crap.... that isn't always true what you said. the copies of cams and headers are actually making great power for a hell of a lot less...... and actually the Megan headers i think are a hell of a lot better than Junk DC's. no cracking. have you ever owned anything before you start saying that... that is a typical answer from someone who probably has never owned a DC header and had those POS crack all over the place. those things are Junk.... let me rephrase that " Expensive Junk"

Ah, didn't know they were still expensive. I haven't bought a DC anything in a very long time. Thought they would have gone down by now to the usual price with everyone using custom fabbed **** that actually works now.


In that case, definately hit up flea bay.
