dc also makes a 4-2-1 one peice, that has nothing to do with it.
the comptech peice has stepped diameters so that it can add
hp/tq across the entire range, not just low and mid. it also gains
up top. having purchased comptech products before, I would say
that they SPECIALIZE in honda acura and they put ALOT of
engineering into what they build, my guess and money
would be spent on the comptech header.

Never used DC, but I like my Comptech. Gives good power throughout the rev range. It's put together well, and seems to be a quality piece. Their cat-back is also well made, and gives a deeper tone than most others I've heard. Kind of pricey, though.

What do you mean by stepped diameters?

read comptech's site, also the stepped diameters
allow for an anti-reversion quality as well as
creating a low pressure vaccum behind the
exhaust pulse creating more power in the
area of the TQ curve near peak VE (peak TQ)

oh yea... the diameters increase in size from
the primary through the secondary to the
collector gradually in steps.
