Default what about HKS header?

Hi guys,
i'm considering to buy the hks header but i've never heard something about it.
i'm very happy of the sound of my hks dual exhaust but i'd
like to have some power increase.
i'v heard a lot about mugen and spoon headers(+-1300$)
but hks only cost about 1000$...
Have someone already dyno'ed hks header???
By hks they told me:header+dual exhaust=+- 15 hp more
but i'm not sure...

Ask them for dyno charts backing up the claim.

For information,i've asked HKS 2 month ago to
send me the dyno charts but never received it!!!
About DC sport i asked a distributor in BELGIUM
but he told me that it wasn't already available!!!
We don't have any serious distributors for japan parts in
our small country.

Every dyno report I've seen on the DC header shows ZERO gain. The only headers I've seen reported to have an actual gain in power is the Mugen, Spoon, and Toda. The stock header was designed well.

this is off the topic but...

Did you make the calculation of buying in US + shipping+ tax?

I was looking for any distributor for my HKS Exhaust here in Europe; they cost 850 GBP = $1.275 plus shipping, I bought it in US and shipped to my door was $1.150. $850 for the exhaust $300 for shipping and taxes.


For the Comptech supercharger you can safe up to $1000!!!!!!! Buying in US rather than Europe.


For special Japanese parts is better contact Japan, sometimes they do not speak English (For example Feels) making buying part very difficult and funny but possible.
