Did you get it from this seller?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270589638845
If you, did they come with 3 bolts flanges and down pipe or just 2 ps of headers?
I saw they accept the best offer was much lower than their origin price. My guessing is it was you or could be wrong.Thanks.

Anyone know if these HHC5528 are 50 state legal? The DC website doesn't specify.

Look at the first question. You might need to call to verify this specific application.

Good in stock if you need one.

After chasing the vendor (Andysautosport) then the manufacturer around a bit..DC shipped me the correct front header and the install went off without a hitch.

I also did the APEXi catback and a test pipe at the same time. The car was pretty loud but the power increase was significant (seat of pants dyno).

After a couple weeks though I decided the raspiness and volume was a bit too much so I ordered a new OEM spec Cat and replaced the test pipe. Much better sound, maybe a tiny drop in power delivery.

I added a UR crank pulley shortly after which really improved off-idle response with the reduced rotating mass on the engine.
Im thinking of getting the dc headers myself, and i have the stock exhaust on my tl. do you think it would be a good idea to upgrade the exhaust when i get the headers? and what would be the best brands. im much more concerned about performance vs. sound.

The best performance would be an ATLP exhaust, as it is a straight-through muffler. Still, if you're looking just for performance, I would go custom. For that kind of money, you could get all of the other bolt-ons with more gains.

The headers are still worth it, even with a stock exhaust.
