dc header

[detok]

alright well i have some ebay stainless header on my cb but i heard that the dc ceramics are better is that true

[Bcozzi71]

i have dc headers on my cb and they are great....more power and with my flowmaster exhaust sonds great....im really not sure about ebay stainless headers...just my 2 cents

[RacH22]

4-2-1 Designs are all the same, gains from one can pretty much be expected with the next... Look at any of them, same damn design, and the only thing different from engine to engine is the flange and possible clearance bends(unlikely on most).. I have been running an Ebay Special for almost a year now on my H22A and my b/f has had one on his SpecV for over 2 years now. Not a single issue with either other than him blowing out a 2-2 gasket when a stud went missing after a trip to the stealership... Easily fixed and not a problem since.

If your going to spend a bunch of cash on some name brand junk, PM me and I can see how much my b/f will charge to fabricate a 4-1 design to fit.. That's the only way your going to increase power by switching the manifold. Unless it has a snail attached...

DC's or cheapies do the same thing the only noticable difference between the 2 is the money you spend. If you want more power get yourself a true 4-1 header. If you want more low end torque get a cheapie off ebay or one off an A4 motor.

agreed. the A4 header is a tubular design just like all aftermarket ones. so if you don't have an A4, just grab the header off one. you can probably find one for like $20 from a junkyard.

but if i were you, i'd just keep the Ebay ones you have now. save yourself the money. the others you can get probably won't even make any difference.

hey i was considerin a ebay header..does it make the car sound raspy any?

[DjM_coupe]

DC ones are legal whereas ebay ones arent. im out here in so. cali so we kinda have to pay attention to those things unless we wanna pay big fines. so yeah go for the dc ones

DC ones are legal whereas ebay ones arent.

x2 + DCs are ceramic coated and have warranties.

Megan > DC. IF you live in a carb state then you would need to go with DC. DC come in stainless or ceramic coated. The ceramic likes to rust when moisture hits it my friend had one on his accord and civic.

dc headers are the best i think so what do u think

I would think Bisimoto headers are the best

Hopefully the Bisimoto headers will be released... There seems to be a fair amount of serious interest, but I'm not sure if Bisi is convinced it'll be worth putting them into production (I have not discussed this directly with him... but I have a feeling the delay isn't simply a manufacturing issue)

Bisimoto headers will be the BEST header out there, SIGNIFICANTLY better than the DC design, or anything else for the F22A for that matter. The DC headers are what, $350-$400 brand new? Or has the price come down? Either way, at $600-$700, the Bisimoto headers will be an absolute steal.

False. Just because they are brand name doesnt mean they are great. Too bad someone tested a Megan as I recall and it flowed equal to DC and it costs less. The only reason you would buy DC is for carb sticker and such aka california. The only gain you might see is with there Race SS header or if you do a collector mod. Only way you will get power out of those things. Either way if I had the money I would up the antee and purchase something that has been proven to work aka Bisimoto (f/hseries), Hytech, SMSP, RMF (all h series).

alrigth i have some ebay headers and i bought a so called hi flow cat which is basically a straight and my car sounds like a rice rocket with the stock muffler or after market what would it be would i get a different sound with dc?

Very true.
