Just wanted to know if the DC header has enough ground clearance on my factory ride height r. I don't plan on ever lowering it, what for. Should I go with ceramic coated or stainless. I hear the ceramic is best, not to mention cheaper.

I have that header on stock height, and im yet to have any scrapping of any sort. The stainless obviously looks nicer, but there is no difference in performance between the two... the ceramic will run a bit cooler due to the coating.

cheaper isn't always good for an ITR

i have the stainless JDM DC w/ an SMSP cat and i love it. The clearance is about 3-4mm below the oil pan so no biggie at all. The runners coming out of the header (from the head) are discolored as hell though. :cry:

stock height you should be ok. Ceramic is fine but DC has had ceramic cracking issues in the past so keep an eye on the coating.

I should probably go with the real JDM header for reliability, but the price is a little high if you get the heatshields and do it properly. I guess I'll just chill until I spot a used one(unlikely).... Unless, anyone is willing to donate one? worth a shot.

I'd just get the Upper Heatshield personally. You can't use heit shields with a DC so don't compare those in the pricing. You can get an OEM JDM 4-1 for about $365 brand new.
