DC definately. Not because of the name, but because of the quality.

Re: (itr_eg)

Don't use stainless unless you're a ricer...
Ceramic keeps the heat in which is much better for performance!
If you want to save TQ go 4-2-1, however I recommend running 4-1 design, overall the high end HP gains are much more, trust me you feel the gains... I ran DC sports ITR style 4-1 in my B16, it was excellent!
