DC sports headers
man getting the JDM ITR Header set up right is a pretty expensive mod: $288 for the CC header, $100 for the 2.5 Car Sound Cat, $68 for the flange and gasket. Install is gonna be nice to since i got a hybrid and they gonna have to cut and weld.
It really is a good idea to go with stainless. The "ceramic" ones are just referring to a coating which is applied over mild steel. The coating is to make the cheap material a bit less crappy.
Also, to get the full benefit of a 2.5" header and cat, the rest of the exhaust aft of the cat should be 2.5" as well. That means custom piping and a muffler with a 2.5" inlet. A 2.5" header and cat bolted up to a smaller-diameter midpipe and muffler will still produce some gains over a stock-sized header, but you're not using their full potential.

$68 for flange and gasket? :eh:
I bought a 2.5" flange, two gaskets, and an O2 sensor plug last week from Carquest for ~$15.

4-1 ceramic on my LS, with CAI and full CAT-BACK EXH. All DC. I think on their site they have a dyno sheet that with the combination of all three it shows a gain of 13 hp? Anyone else seen that? They look great and sound great too. and I pass smog! :yay: :joshers:
