DC is not same as stock. i have dc ceramic and it is better than stock. as far as hp goes, you will only gain like 5 cuz of where the cat sits on our cars. it is a very short header, but dc has plans for a two piece 4-2-1 coming late fall.

Shouldn't be a concern for someone who lives in Pittsburgh. CARB = CALIFORNIA Air Resources Board. Only affects peeps from Cali. And MARCUS, I highly suggest going with the HP Racing Header w/ Hi-Flow Cat. Works best with additional intake and exhaust combo of course, but that or Kamikaze should be your only choices if you want any gains at all. I hear Kamikaze if you have an LX and HP if you have an EX. I have an EX and ooooohh baby....

Rep Power: 0 humm........trendy arn't we?......i've chosen to go with a TECH RACING header. they are in Canada, and when you call they are like, "blu, blah a bul, ble ba blu, quie blu blah qui cee qui blu, blie?" and i was like, "HEY! i don't speak french!"
the header though requires some mods on the stock suspention, the collector is HUGE!! but it rubs on the sway-bar a little. aftermarket bar is recomended......or you can just take the damn thing off.....resulting in understeer.......but that don't matter when you are going straight forward....it retails for $350 canadan, $250 (canadan) for the collector. that's like $245 and $160 american....+ shipping

Rep Power: 0 No offense taken to the LA comment. The pollution here in CA is rediculous so I understand the regulations, but agreed, it is a royal pain to "legally" drive anything here. Modifying anything related to the intake/sensors or the exhaust/cat can be a legal pain.
