Default JDM ITR vs JDM DC header...

I have researched on the two and i've found that they are both almost identical in power and price -- http://www.hondalife.com/artic...r.htm

prices at http://www.inlinefour.com

JDM ITR header with gasket and flange is $473
JDM DC header with gasket and flange, and stainless steel is $464.97

I have two questions also:
1 - Are there any difference in ground clearance between the two (for my Si)?
2 - Is the JDM 98' ITR header stainless steel?

I have searched and researched. Thanks in advance.

Why not buy the ceramic....a bunch of money less.....unless you want that bling in the engine bay

The only thing I don't like about the DC (Which I have) is it sits low enough to get banged up (Which my wife did to mine).

get the jdm itr, not really for any hp benifit, but for the fact that you can get a skid plate for it so you dont bash it up

They both give the same power basically.

DC sits lower then the OEM JDM header. So if your going to get the stainless then don't bother with the DC (the little you'd save won't matter then you beat the **** out it). now if you were getting the ceramic DC then it would be worth IMO.

True dat....i put a USDM ITR DC 4-1 header on my 92 hatch with a JDM B20....Perfect fit, like stock. However I killed it after only 3 days ...i'm out 200 bones now...gotta get another one. Glad I didn't pay full price for it. I have to say one thing........it made a hell of a differnce really opened up the engine and totally sounds different as well......gave the car a lil more tq that you can feel. Too bad it is gone now. I think I am goin to get a ITR 4-2-1 this time. My car was pretty low though. Anyone know if there is a huge difference between the 4-1 and the 4-2-1? I could really feel the 4-1......

Is there any way to get a skid plate put on the DC Sports JDM 4-1?

I want to get the ceramic coated one, but not if its going to get beat!
