yea i've raced one from a roll...until like 100 or so it was dead even, after that i pulled him pretty hard--stopped racing @ 148mph more or less lol, i guess aerodynamics do matter when a door stop races a brick (sarcasm intended).

dunno bout the dc header being "crappy"...but besides that good kill

 

lightings when modded become very scary.

lucky u raced a stock one, didnt know many of them still existed

 

We shut it down at about 130ish, when racing against a lightning its all about getting past 100. From then on you can pull on them pretty good.

IIRC the DC headers have been known to lose power.

 

ive gotten my ass handed to me by a few lightings before....nice job beating a stock one

 

your wheels prolly slowed you down a bit... i didnt know dc headers caused a loss in power, is this true?

 

about the wheels...my bro has an 02 stage 2 wrx w/ just about the same mods as my bud w/ an 05 stage 2 wrx...needless to say the only difference that truly slowed down my brother was his bigass rims he bought (my friend still has stockers w/ low pro's)

as far as the dc header...dunno so much about that, if you take two sets of headers one claiming "jdm" and the other "regular" and they're exactly the same one just has a name and more $$ i think it just comes down to the name

dyno proven results proving +/- anyone?

 

If you read around in different threads, the general consensus is that the DC header will either not make any power, or it will cause a small loss in power. Howerever it does save some weight and it looks better than the stock header.
