Default Installed the DC Sports Headers WOW

I had the headers installed today and I must say WOW. Worth every penny, there is a gain from 3-9RPM range. Pics will be posted by Richard soon. Weight Honda headers are heavier than DC Sports (didn't get a chance to weight the DC though). I am very happy with the results and I am hosting the Group Buy now on the G/B fourms.

Hi Tim

The DC headers look good. (The OEM headers look surprisingly good as well). Did you get any baseline dyno test results before you put on the DC's?

No, this was a rush job on a Sunday and there are no dyno shops open today.

Well, nice of you to bring that up
Mugen $1,500.00
Spoon $1,500.00
DC $425.00 at max or $340.00 ceramic

hmmm, I went with the DC, But I think the Spoon and Mugen will have a higher rpm boost. Not sure though.

Can I ask what DC made their headers out of? I just wonder about the build quality of the DC headers.

Hi Tim

There are various grades of stainless steel. I think that's what Pinky is asking. BTW, what's Import Development, Inc., East? Forgive me for asking, but are you making money from this group buy?
