If so how is the clearance? What kind of numbers do you put down? What is your overall impression of it? Thanx.

The clearance is not as great as was originally promised by headertech, but it;s better then a jdm dc header, and it's easy to live with. It's almost a non-issue..

The header itself preforms excellent! It's very easy to make lots of horsepower with it!

MAxboost. Is your car lowered? If so how far? You drive this car normally? Thank you for the responce I am looking at buying one and I am just trying to decide if it will be that much better than my DC 4-2-1.

I have a HeaderTech Header on my car and I love it. Ran my car without the header and azenis and ran 14.3 @ 96.5mph with 2.3 60'. Ran my car with HeaderTech header and azenis got a 13.7 @100.09mph with 2.1 60'. The header i bought is the Mild Steel Coated version with 3" Collector. The flange they use is a 3-bolt flange, but they gave me a conversion piece to go from 3" to 2.5" and I mated that to a Carsound Cat. I also had them make me a 3" to 2.5" test pipe with a flex pipe welded in and they used their better 3"-2.5" reducer on that. As far as ground clearance goes, you might have to raise your car up a bit depending on how low it is. My car was slightly too low and I scraped the header ever so slightly coming out of my garage. I raised it up about .75" and haven't had any problems since. The front tires on my car are now sitting right at the fender. Here are some pictures of my header. Red and Enzo get from me.

Call up Red and Enzo at 1-877-665-5400. Mild Steal Coated header is $450 (atleast at the time I purchased mine) and I believe the Stainless Steel is $650.
