Default RE: DC Headers

I am pretty sure DC Sports headers or C.A.R.B complient. OBX arent. So if you live in CA you'll have to go with the DC otherwise it doesnt matter.

Well, if your car passes emissions and the cop doesnt pull you over to check up on the engine bay, then you're good.

Just go for DCSports...but watch out for the flex pipe...80% positive it will crack. It's the only flaw.

DC sports is really, really bad with PR. AEM needs to pick up the slack. As long as it's warrantied....you should be fine. But yes, the flex pipe cracks very, very often. After you get it installed, I would periodically check every 2 weeks or so. Once you pass a good solid 4-6 months, it should be ok.

Are you saying that because you have personal experience or know someone first hand whose had a bad experience with dc headers? I want to get myself a pair of dc headers and if thats the case im going to look into another brand. Ive done my research and have found nothing on dc headers being faulty with flex pipe cracks being a common problem.

megan racing also dyno tunes their products and have heard good things from the many people who own them. the main difference between DC/Greddy and the cheap ones, is that they are CARB exempt. they paid the price for legality. just depends on here you live. but the designs are exactly the same, theres no reason one would blatantly outperform the other.
Was waiting throughout the thread for someone to finally mention that.
