hey - i have a b18b and im looking to gain a little in the mid-range power so i decided to add a header and possibly hi-flo cat to my CAI and N1 catback- and not looking to go spend upwards of $900 for a JUN or mugen header

which header is of better quality? will one give more performance than the other?

Greddy - $295
DC sports - $265

Thanks - Brad

 

4-2-1 or 4-1 ?

 

4-2-1 (in the poll options )

 

I've seen a few friends with DC sports ceramic headers crack at the weld. for me

 

I am not impressed with anything that comes from DC other than their JDM 4-1's. Ive seen easily half a dozen ceramic headers crack...DC is garbage.

DC sport is a garbage company. Every person i know that has had a header from this company cracks at the welds. The performance from this company is questionalbe as well??? Bottom line do not even consider DC sport as an option.

 

my dc headers on my civic never cracked anywhere...owned 4-2-1 before turbo and 4-1 after turbo. i liked them just fine...but i can't compare the two because there was turbo in between the two

 

Indeed. My DC header is cracking at the welds. It hasn't totally failed me, but it is obviously a DC trend for this to happen.

 

Comptech

 

I have the 4-1 ceramic headers from DC and I don't have this problem. I think they're ok. I actually have to replace my headers because I dented them at the bottom but that isn't a manufacturer problem...it's only cuz NYC roads are the worst!

I have yet to see one crack. Now the ceramic coated DC's.............I ve seen cars with both 4-1 and 4-2-1 and both have cracked at the welds. If you go DC get the SS model.
