oh wow! those are freakin lovely.. i wonder why it is so cheap though, compared to the other headers. also wondering if it'll have the resonances that most aftermarket headers do, for our cars.

I had a DC ceramic header on my 97 Prelude, it was the shit. Best mod I put on that car power wise. DC is trustworthy.
Also had the DC exhaust on it too, 5 years never rusted with the stainless steel, and also the DC intake worked just fine till the day I sold the car.

^^^^Spending 1050 for the ct's didnt make sense for me(i used that on my Tien's), I could have done worse and bought OBX i guess but to each his own.....
Hey hindsight is always 20/20, props to you for buying CT

i had DC Sports headers on my RSX. and this was back in 2002 (the first year of the RSX). i bought it from the FIRST batch and the fitment was PERFECT! it gave off a nice low drone from 1500-3000 rpms, but it sounded perfect. the gain from those headers were also something i still cant forget. im all over these if a group buy starts. with DC i know you cant go wrong, first batch or not, DC has a reputation and a name with awesome credibility. obviously they would long term test it before they put it out on the market.

I have a question.....Can I have the DC headers without aftermarket exhaust? Will I still get performance gains? Don't have money for both right now but would rather just have headers don't want the exhaust to be loud or anything like that just looking to gain a little extra horse power.......

You do not need an exhaust with headers... the gains are negligble with an exhaust added.
The fishy thing about these headers are they are CERAMIC. That alone is going to give headaches for some people, even BIGGER headaches to those who live in a region where salt is used (or in the environment) during the winter season. CERAMIC also does not tolerate heat changes over time, meaning, eventually the headers will look like crap.

From DC's site, most of the 3-to-1 headers are available in stainless, brushed stainless and mild steel. The stainless part numbers have an 's' on the end and brushed ones have a 'b'. They might be available in stainless. I'll find out tomorrow.

Looks like double the cost for brushed stainless based on these prices:

What to do..
I've been reading posts for the past few weeks trying to make since between all the different makes and price range of headers available. I was sold on Megan (4th batch) due to price and my budget until I came across this post. Should I hold out for the GB and price difference to get DC Sports instead? I'm itching to get this mod while I have the cash and the boss (wife) doesn't change her mind.

I hope Excelerate can work something out, would love to get a set of these. I really can't see the point of shelling out 1k for Comptech Headers and Megans scare me.
