comptech header vs. dc sports
Overall better performance throughout most of the RPM range plus overall quality is better. Search around here and check out the welds on the comptech header, very top notch.

that question can only be answered by you.. how much do you want to spend vs how much power do you really want?

I had a DC header on my SI and a comptech on my gsr. Honestly I never thought DC was crap until I came here. I cant really comment on the gains but you usually get what you pay for. I would go with comptech.
Hell I did go with comptech. I have comptech I/H and an ITR exhaust

I've only had experience with the Comptech 4-2-1 header, but I can tell you that it's a very quality piece, and I'd choose it over DC any day. It gives decent gains all through the RPM range, and looks like some care was put into making it. It's also a nice touch to the engine bay.
do an archived search in Integra and Integra Type R for "header test"
it'll keep you busy researching all night!!

wouldnt say DC is "crap", but not the quality of comptech.

It all depends upon which particular model of DC header you're referencing. If your talking about the basic 4-2-1 then yeah it pretty much sucks. However the DC JDM 4-1 flows incredibly well. Check out Titan Motorsports header test and you'll see. I do have to admit that the quality of the Comptech does surpass any of the DC's that I've seen though.
Im not saying DC is crap. Sorry if that was misleading. I thought it was a good piece until I came here and had everyone tell me it is crap. I hardly hear good things about it.
The DC header I had on my Si made a noticeable difference to me and when I took it off the header was in GREAT condition.

I agree, and here's a good post about a DC header, I am quite happy with mine. But as said earlier, you get what you pay for, DC is good whereas comptech is great.
