    Like I said, don't get me wrong, DC Sports makes a decent cheap header. Construction wise they are strong, the flanges are good and thick. But they just do not make the power. I for one just do not like to mod for the sake of modding. I just bought a cheap header because I didn't know the difference at first. My first header was a DC knockoff of the Carb header. The second was a DC sport Carb exempt 4-1. The third header was a DC sports JDM 4-1 with 2.5 collector. The third is the best header that DC makes for the Honda. However, you do need at least a full round of bolt ons to support the flow that it makes. It still will not stack up to any of the headers I mentioned previously. If Vteckidd sees this thread he can post up his header test he did with an RMF, Sparks, Hytech production header, and DC Sports JDM 4-1 2.5 collector, and a stock ITR header. The JDM 4-1 only made 2-3 more whp than the ITR and made less torque because of the 4-1 design.
