Default Header for S2000?

I found a Good Price for a Dc Sports Ceramic Header 4-2-1 for the S2000 is 289+ Shipping

What do you guys think of the Header will it give me some power! or it's not worth it.....

i hear that header is a POS and loses hp. i'm only saying this from what i've read on the boards so i'll let someone with first hand experience answer with more confidence.

i personally run a toda header, but even the huge money i put into that only yields minimal gains. honda did an excellent job with the stock header so unless you have some extra cash to burn, i'd suggest letting that be one of your last mods, if at all.

dc is not that good, but i have heard that comptech, or another company is producing their parts for them, so the quality will get better. dc produces parts for volume, not quality.

im also in the market for a header, and so far the choices for me are: amuse, spoon, fujibitso and toda(even though the mounts break). i think my top choice right now is the spoon, unless i decide to go with the amuse after i get my amuse exhaust. i like the keep the parts consistant. hope this helps.

they may be better, but AEM isn't really a player in the header biz. they have good equipment i would guess.

i love comptech parts. they are made very well. and, their racing experience means they have the equipment and engineering know how.

I called AEM the other day about my V2 and they answered the phone by saying "AEM, Dc sports" so I believe they did buy them out.
