DC Sports Header good investment?

I am really considering the DC sports header for my next mod. My last 2 mods have been DIY's so I could save some cash and still work on my ride, but I've searched and opinions were mixed. I have an EX coupe w/AEM SRI and a Magnaflow CB and was wondering if I should go for it or not. What you peeps think?

but i think you would like the turbo kit better!!

I have it and it looks good and itll give a little more performance and since the turbo is gonna be a LONG way away i say go for it i have the intake and the exhaust and with those youll WILL feel the difference

I had the injen cai and mag cat-back for several months before I got the dc header. I could definately tell the difference. It looks nice too.

Thanx for the feedback....I may put it off for a little while, but I think I will end up getting it. A Turbo kit seems a little out of my price range, and by the time it is released I may want a new ride......if I have any $$$ left after all this modding that is

i'd go for the header because a turbo costs wayyy too much money and the couple bills you'll spend on a header aren't going to make that much difference in the cost of a turbo setup. espically if you want to go higher than 6-8 psi.

i'm going to get myself a dc ceramic coated header probably in a month, i have an ex auto, should i get the 4-2-1 or the 4-1. i've heard mixed reviews of both for my tranny.
