DC Sports, CT-engineering, XS Headers???

What do you guys have for opinions? DC's shipped for $390. CT's are a lil over a $1,000. Is the quality that much better? Also I dont know much of anything about XS. Any input would be great!

Thanks

do you have a six speed?
if so you can only run the XS or CT's, or you can have some custom made.
CT is better quality but the end result between them has been argued to be basically the same, the XS ones aren't made any more and are hard to find, new or used. if your not six speed I'd go for DC because they are ceramic coated and much less expensive than CT

hes 6spd. make sure that the rear manifold has a notch in it. those are for 6spds. only really diff between ct and dc is that ct is carb legal where as dc is not but both are great quality. u have to pay to get something carb legal so that raises up the price. no xs is a go no go header and ppl report resonance with it. thin metal, cheaper made
