im just sayin what i hear i herad dc is better but i dont give a damn. its all made the same way just the pipes are bent diff ways, besides they both do the job so.

thumbs up fellas.
hmm, that would be the Front Strut Tower bar, if it goes under the hood. the sway bar is underneath the car. Anyway i can see a FST bar costing 150 bucks, but you don't need one. In an FF car with no other suspension mods, you really don't want to stiffen the front of the car. Eventually you will, after or at the same time as stiffening the rear, but it's not really worth it if that's all you're gonna get. the bar you REALLY want is a rear sway bar.

headers are just bent/welded pipes, but not all headers are the same. The reason being that a difference of just 1/4" can mean 5 to 6 hp, if not more. Mugen has the most extensive R and D department when it comes to the honda aftermarket, which is why they charge so damn much.

If you look around for the SMSP header for the H22, you'll find that it is the best performing header out there, adding something like 10whp, whereas the DC only puts 2-3 extra hp to the wheels.

anyway this isn't a flame by any means, just sharing what i've found in my aftermarket journeys.
