Default 99 Ex: buy DC 4-2-1 for LOW price or save for greddy header

I have a 99 EX and I found a new ceramic DC 4-2-1 for a a little more than $200. But i was plannin on gettin the Greddy stainless header which is 350. Which would you get. I heard the greedy makes good torque, and i think some more power than the dc. Another main reason keepin me away from the dc is the quality. I heard of problems and seen a bunch of dc ceramic headers in not the greatest shape.

So which would u get? also, please stay on topic, no swap or go Fi suggestions

I have a DC 4-2-1 Ceramic.....had it for about 40,000 miles.....It gave me an edge over another EX with I/E.

Go for the DC header. I'm using my 2nd header from them and its great. 1st was on my CRX. No problems there either.

Both were for single cam. One VTEC, one non-VTEC. I felt the increase more so on the VTEC, cause I did a load of stuff all at once. Just there quality and realiablity has impressed me more than enough to stay with them.
