In the Sept. 2002 Turbo mag. on pg. 77 there is a DC ad with Si parts. Their header has a CARB EO number so it should be ready to go soon if not already. It's a 4-2-1 design. No price listed.

they were to be released August 2002, but they are definitely delayed. There are others in the market available though.

Really I didn't know that DC Headers tend to rust do you have any other recomendations on some good quality headers?

I had a ceramic DC 4-2-1 1 piece on for three years. No problems, no rust, no leaks.

Comptech is quality, but usually quite a bit more expensive. Didnt MiamiJDM have HP headers? Well if you go ceramic you should be fine, but the stainless look is nice (but then again how well can you see the headers in our car....)

I just put on the HP headers, for $160 they aint a bad part. I doubt the DC or Comptech will perform any better at twice the price or more.

I haven't heard of any measurement stats on the DC header yet, but I think they will use smaller piping as compared to Comptech or HP. They are known for their use of 1 5/8" piping on most of their headers. The HP header uses 1.75" piping, Comptech's looks close to HP in terms of piping size judging by the pics. DC's piping looks like the smaller of the three.
