idk if they are good. but the "ceramic" coating chipped off all sets back a few years ago. Maybe they are ok now idk.
There were fitment problems back then too.

Yup. I mentioned in another thread my distaste for DCs "ceramic coating".

My brother has dc ceramic headers on his prelude and they're shown zero signs of aging.

Maybe you guys hear about these coatings chipping cause of the nonstop heat there is in the states.

There's only a handful of days in toronto that I'd say it's (hard) on the car.

I'm guessing that must have played a roll in the longevity of people's headers.

And besides i don't rip it everywhere by ANY means, so these things will be Stress leave their whole life

I've personally had issues with them, same with some of my friends from NY and FL, and on my old Prelude in VA. So I don't think the climate really has anything to do with it.

damn, it's all luck of the draw I assume then. Oh well.

My ceramic OBX headers and Option pulley are in the mail on their way to be put to use! I'll let you guys know what the deal is with these things after all said and done in 2 weeks (once they ARRIVE)

gotta love living up here in canada, just waiting on everything and everyone. The country that lives off other countries lol

Lol. Good luck with the install.

Off topic- When installing the pulley I find that putting the breaker bar on the bolt then pulsing the starter a few times is the easiest way. Have the end of the breaker bar on the pavement though.
