Default Dc Header worth the time and effort?

Hey guy I have a DC ceramic header for my car; It came w/ the supercharger kit. Anyway I was wondering if it would be worth while to put it on, any HP gains? Or should I wait and get a higher end one such as J

DC headers have been proven to cause HP losses. I wouldn't even THINK of running them on an SC setup.

Now you got me thinking. I just dyno'd my car last week and it made 417 rwhp and 253 tq on 17psi. I wonder what it would have made without the DC header?

in your first post you asked if you should put it on. Then you say you dynoed the car and now you think you should take it off? A bit confusing. If its off, I say dont bother with it because of the HP loss, if its on, I would replace with something else.

Those are my thoughts.

Take it off,and dyno again;you'll probably gain another 10 WHP.
