And along the same lines . . . .. I've heard teh HKS exhaust is the worst

Again, not my observations, just what I've read and heard
I have one of those sh*tty HKS exhausts that supposedly loses so much power and I've yet to be dropped by any S2ks. Oh, and I ran w/ 13 of em last Sunday.

I would say pull your OEM header, do a little work on the intake holes, jet coat it and put is back on. Cheap, may give a little better flow (the oem unit is good anyway) and will look better.

I personally think DC is a waste of time, from what I heard they had to re-design the header because it lost HP in the begining and then re-design it to give no gain. I guess they don't have the technology to improve on the stock header.
similar performance with fujitsubo, more top end than midend power.

Spoon header actually drops power. I know, I have one. I dynoed too.

Mind you, this is without A/F tuning. With a VAFC, i was able to pick up power through out the powerband. YOu need to get it properly tuned though. Without tuning, its worthless.

I d go exactly with what Wortham said. Get yourself some rear gears.
