The DC are now the best option for headers next to Comptech.

What is the price difference we are talking about here between the DC and XS headers? I think that XS run about $100. What about DC's? Oh and how much are the new head gaskets

DC Sports are $385 shipped from us. Head gaskets go between the block and the head. I think you are referring to exhaust manifold gaskets. The stock OE gasket are MLS (multi-layered steel). They can be reused.

No these aren't homemade poorly made headers. They are well made and you will notice a difference, esp in VTEC.

Wait, I've never bought headers before.... do they come with the downpipe also or did you buy it separately? I'm talking about that other Y-pipe in CCETTI's pictures.
