HA HA HA, yeah there should be lots people on here with headers, but no one with any real gains. I don't have aftermarket hearders on my car becasue I've used them in the past and found they are almost worthless on Hondas. I'll never put anouther set of hearders on a NA car unless it's a V8 agian. Just my .02 though.

HEADER!! HEADER!! Unless you have a Vee engine, you only have 1, count them, 1, header. DC is ok. They are medicore when it comes to headers. They aren't crap but they aren't the best.

THe thing with DC is at least all the holes line up with the headstuds correctly... as in theres no slop between the studs and the headder. others....(Cough**OBX**Cough) tend to have alot of play between the studs and headder, so you have to "best guess" if the exaust ports are ligned up with the headder.

Weather there is any performance gained is another question.

My bad, only one header. But I think aftermarket header(s) are not worth the money unless you have a high diplacement motor or a turbo motor. By high displacement I mean 3 or 4 liter at least. Just IMO though.

im not likin dc headers. overrated, and overpriced.

The header on my friends 2.5 sentra engine made a big difference. It was from AEBS.

I've heard Sentra's have good results with a hearder too, but I've never owned a Sentra, so I don't know for sure. I have only tried with Hondas, and Honda does good job with the stock version, IMO.
