Default JDM vs. DC Sports Header

Is there a big difference between these two brands of headers in terms of performance and quality? I've noticed the JDM are a bit cheaper (or maybe I'm not looking in the right place) on Ebay, and was wondering if someone could tell me if there was any difference... I know they both have mandrel bent tubing, so it would seem they are equal on those terms.

Lightshow misread the question-


From what I have read I think DC Sports is the better of the two. I have the DC Stainless, it is well constructed and a very stout product built for the long run in my opinion. Most go with the ceramic coated one but it was too lightweight for me. The stainless is considerably more expensive but I felt it was worth the difference.

So you think that they are junk because Japanese owners don't use them? Say What??????[sm=dontgetit.gif]
If you know of better brands for cars in the US now is the time, also they need a CAFE sticker---------

no i was just saying that they use the name JDM on their listing like its so good cause its "jdm" when i bet nobody in japan has a 40 dollar header on their car. (or at least very few)

Point taken... I'll go with the DC Sports when the time comes... BUT, are the listings on Ebay we see for the DC-S headers the same as DC Sports? It's all a bit confusing... I've been told the 30 dollar BOMZ intakes are good... so I was just wondering...

Thanks

no, its not dc-sports, usually you can take dc-s as dc style, so basically dont accept it as a dc sport header unless it shows a stamp.

in my opinion any 3 inch tubing and a k&n cone filter is a good intake.
