dcrh = 15 whp

evo = 5 whp

dcrh is the best bang for buck bolt on for the k series

If I were you I would get the DCRH and get a custom line of 2.5" from the end of the header all the way to the stock exhaust... that would sound so nice plus the EP3 exhaust flow really good if not better then most aftermarkets!
