The Icebox flat out performs better. I've got a DC 4-1 header as well, and I really like the setup. Comptech does make nice headers. Their exhaust is one of the only ones I've considered because of it's nice quiet tone. The Comptech I/H/E is a nice setup.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Before I dish out mad cash for dyno time, I'll need to get a carsound cat and V-AFC. What are these dyno days I keep hearing about? Discount dyno runs?

The header made quite a difference. The kick after 5700 rpm was a noticeably bigger. I wasn't expecting that. There were more gains than I expected. The gains from the header were more than I got from the AEM CAI. I also didn't find any low end losses that a lot of people say happens with a 4-1 design. I would recommend getting a header over an exhaust. It's definitely the weak link on the exhaust side of the engine.
