Header?

Im looking into getting a new header and was thinking about getting a DC. Do any of you have any preferences? (DC, Airmass, Chikara, Pacesetter, Powercore, etc...) DC says it gives a gain of 12-14hp but I find this a bit hard to believe. Does it all come down to the fact that I get what I pay for or is there actually a good deal out there somewhere. Thanks in advance.

You will not see a 12-14 gain on a DC.

Anyways, here is a D-Series header comparison. (http://www.hadamotorsport.com/tech/review/dsemc/index.html) Myself, I just bought a new Ractive header. But will not test it until my new motor is finished.

i got a DC Sports. i am happy :) then again, i wasn't expecting a 12-14 HP gain. maybe to the flywheel but not to the wheels. next one i get will probably be OBX. for personal comparing. kris update us on the Ractive.

i have Greddy header and exhaust, very happy with both.

That comparison thing said that the Chikara header is a real good bang for the buck. Its only 180 so unless any of you think its not a good product, I think I might invest in one.

I have the Chikara header - I haven't used it yet :bloated: so I can't really help ya with my opinion...it came with the ZC :D

As you can see it needs to be painted before installation...if you want something with less maint. involved, you may want stainless. If you don't care what it looks like, this is prolly OK.

i got my DC 4-2-1 header for my b16, but havent installed either yet, so ill tell ya how it goes.

I got a chikara header, and it's not too bad, good overall power increase compared to stock. Admittedly, it is not the prettiest header you've ever seen, looks almost stock, but for the price I don't think it can be beat.

if ya want cheap and crappy looking, but effective...i bought the pacesetter.....burnt the black paint off the first day....should probaly paint it again or something like that...
