DC Headers or JDM Headers for H22A?
I have both of these ready to be installed. Which one do you guys think will have better performance? Is there much of a difference? Which one would you guys choose?

I'm assuming that you have the JDM H22A since you gave no numbers, so from my experience stick with the JDM unless you have already purchased the DC. You'll only see about 2-5 hp gain until you start doing some real engine work to your car. With only the normal bolt-on garb you won't see enough to justify the $3-400 DC header. Just my $.02

you should be able to look at the headers and compare and basically figure out which will perfom better. I'd go with the JDM header assuming its at least as good as USDM stock and with a 2.5'' collector.

They both pretty much suck. The only good thing about he DC is that its alot lighter then the stock ones. If you got the dough go with Mugen!

mugen for $1000 for near no SERIOUS gains...screw that...if youve eveer seen readouts on a mugen header, the gains are slightly nominal...
They look so bad-*** though but i'm not driving with my hood open to have those kind of bragging rights...

Brought back into existing. Now that many months had passed...
He should put in the DC Sports w/ a Modified 2.5" Collector.

I highly doubt you could feel a 2-5 hp differance. i say go dyno the car with the stock, JDM and dc header and whichever two dont add the most power just sell them.
