::sigh:: another typical HAN post...

anyway, in order to help you i would need to know your power goals, future plans?...

the DC Sports, GReddy, yada yada yada are all made on the same platform there is no difference between them. Only when you get into different designs like stepped-header design (Comptech) or a Hytech/SMSP header for an N/A monster will there be better gains.

the usual aftermarkets offer little gain, but its better than stock. 4-2-1 header design is better for a broad powerband, however 4-1 will give you better high end gains.

Pretty vague post, so here goes.

If you're just doing bolt-ons, then Comptech 4-2-1 is pretty ideal. (you didn't mention anything about price)

Otherwise go with a full hytech setup.

If you're running a supercharger, go with a Kamikaze.

This all depends on what diameter piping you're going to use. 2.25? 2.5? 3? Header collector/cat/catback should all be of the size diameter.

You might want to be a little more specific. Check up on the pricing for the headers I listed above h:

Note that on a bone stock engine you'll be lucky to get 1-2 whp with just a header.

You're talking about bolton mods here. They're all within a couple hp of each other.

Also, you only have one header. So you wouldn't be in the market for headers.
