Apexi GT Header
Does anyone have any past experience w/ the Apexi GT Header, they run for about 470ish new, 4-2-1 Design, I can get it for cheaper, so whats the word about these headers? Or are DC 4-1 Better for autocrossing??
Sorry i searched but didnt find anything!

Apexi is known for really high quality products. I don't know about the gains associated with that particular header but I doubt it is worth the extra money unless you want it to last for a good amount of time. I would imagine the JDM 4-1 header would see better gains and may run cheaper.

Yea, so ive heard only good things about the JDM 4-1 header w/ the 2.5 collector. The thing is that I have a test pipe that is 2.25 so i dont want to have anything modified, i pretty much want to bolt on the header directly. Plus it's hard for me to find a Type R header.
I can get the Apexi GT header for under 300, just dont know much about their GT series products.
I have a DC 4-1 Header that i bought used and it has large dings on the bottom, I just want to replace it cuz those dings are BIG!

In terms of 4-2-1's, the only ones I would consider would be Apex'i, RS*R or Comptech.
Like you mentioned, I would think about a DC JDM 4-1 for a cheap effective header, but if you dont want a 2.5" collector, stick with one of the 3 above.

The dent is rather large, so i would think it would effect airflow.

How 'bout some pics of the dent? I don't think it would affect airflow THAT much. The stock cat will probably create more backpressure that any dent on a header would.
