Well title says it all. I just found out today that dc sports makes a 4-2-1. Anyone got any opinions on it. I was looking at the rksport header but damn the price is outragous. dc sports wasn't a whole cheaper, but it came ceramic coated and free shipping. Looking to get some good gains. Still got the 2.4 so give me some opinions.

DCSports is the way to go.
What kind of gains would you say you got out of it? Was it even noticable?

I have one on my car, and i like it, with all of the other mods i have, the car definitly pulls harder around 3500+, and sometimes even lower (the car surprises me even at times). I did notice a whole change in tone of the motor after the header (just had the catback on at the time). I did however put in a Magnaflow Catback, and with the two, it needed a Resonator, so watch out for the noise there as well. As for actual gains, my butt dyno is broke, but i think DC Advertises 8-12whp gains, so somewhere around there i think.
since when does rk sport not sell their headers ceramic coated? every single one ive bought or came into having has been ceramic coated, i myself have never seen a "non-ceramic" header through rk sport.
but, i would go with the DC just cuz their products are awesome and have good standing, rk's on the other hand have some issues with parts, ive never had any problems with either of my RK headers though. my 4-1 has over 40,000 miles on it and its just fine.
both of you, take a caliper and see what one is biger, help us (me) out.
thanks

I think the runners for the dc is 1.5 with 2.5 collector. Refresh my memory the 4-2-1 gains more from mid end to high end, and the 4-1 is mostley high end right?
