I would define Ignorance as Not knowing what you're talking about

Good luck on your journey.

the only thing that ive used so far thats better then DC is Mugen, and i expected it to be better since i paid $638 for it shipped from nagasaki. the only reason i got a dc right now is because of SMOG regulations in cali, sucks ass. i usually put my mugen 1pc back on on track days.

Hmmm.... Not sure about the sales pitch, but I do have minor physics understanding, but what do you mean about a "column of air?" Personally, I thought header design was based more on frequency since the exaust gases are traveling at or near the speed of sound. The Frequency or pulses are sped up through runner length and diameter moreso than anything. Maybe I am wrong... after all I did not design this header. Can you clarify?

Those bends slow down the air flow and you would be stupid, not just ignorant for believing this guys header can make more power than the DC. They were the 1st real header manufacturer and they kept their design after all these years for a reason. It works on every car it is put on.
No doubt DC has been around for years, but they are marketing their product to a different crowd... what I mean is they make affordable "entry level" headers. I am not doubting that they work because I ran a set when I first put my car together, but since then my demands have increased so A header change was needed.

I don't know about your supposed 250whp cough get real cough h22, I would like to see proof of that alone. Why are you afraid to post up a dyno page even after you have been asked?

Not sure why you are attacking me personally, but I would be happy to post and older dyno sheet for you. This dyno sheet does not reflect the new header on my car. It was done with the same set-up except for an SMSP header. I am planning to post both once the tuning is done to compare the two different header types.

How are you going to step in here and say I am coming off like a "jack-ass"? Obviously you did not read this post... All I did was post up picture of my new header and I was met with critism about them. I asked for some explanation for some of the responses and I did so politely with the exception of one comment that might have been taken wrong (I think). I am not trying to insult anyone here I just wanted to find out the reasons behind their post. Was it based on facts or hearsay?

not trying to argue with you but i would of been offended if you said the same to me...
"Are you kidding? Not better than the DC header? DUDE, do some research before you embarrass yourself."
i know you are right because my dc header is pretty small but dont flame them too much man.

Ummm...you may want to go check the back issues of Sport Compact Car which ran a small article shortly after his car was finished and was on its third tranny (I believe) because he kept blowing through them.

The car was white and blue in the article and hails out of Arizona. Can't remember if they posted the dyno chart of the car but I do remember them talking 1/4 times and the fact that the 2.2 had been stroked out to 2.6 and was daily driven at the time.

So basically he has more than enough proof right there without having to lift a finger to respond to you.

hey whats up man, those headers look tight, I know you might have the wrong impression about this website, but people in here are really helpful, I don't really know why so many people are hating on you, but that motor setup looks sweet, I just can't imagine how fast that thing might be if it had a turbo and nitrous, probably run around 10 seconds flat on the quarter. although I have a feeling that you like Naturally Aspirated which is tight too.
keep it safe.

you know ur on HAN when people think DC sports is god of headers hahaha.....thats why i stick to h-t when looking up performance stuff. Nice headers though btw :driving:

And btw for that other guy above who things DC is the shit....jdm h22 headers > dc sports h22 headers. Why you ask? DC is charging you 300 for the same design as the jdm, the only slight advatange would be the weight if you can count that at all.....go read up on h-t.
