Hrmm I wouldn't say that.. the DC header probably has the best power to cost ratio of all the headers available. People are picking up like ~15 WHP, and at only $340 that's a friggen bargain. Going by what they're accomplishing, the SSR header should be making like ~45 WHP.. and somehow I don't think it does. Also I think most of the DCRH problems have been resolved..

I just say the truth! Haha

I don't think any other header is going to make the same price to cost ratio that the DCRH does. Just my opinion and I'm sure I'm stepping on the toes of some SSR header owners..

Then you aren't ready to buy a header. Why double spend?

I've been beating the **** out of my DCRH for nearly a year now and still have had no issues. And trust me it really does make a difference. I've walked away from a few 06/07 Sis with an intake and exhaust.

Most likely not. Not by itself. Although if you run the reflash in combination with the RH it's certainly possible.

if its sr-s. it's probably a knockoff. and you will not find one for that cheap. so it is probably a knockoff.
