For all those wondering about dc race header!(pics added!!!!)
I have the dc race header. Yes it will throw a cel, but you can get around that with a mechanical 02 sensor.
I've run mine for about 200 miles, and havent thrown a cel at all. All the gains are nice from low to high.
also the fit is extremely well. I didnt have to grind anything. The only thing is you have to extend your first o2 sensor. but dc includes a adapter for you stock one so it will be longer. All hardware comes with it.
sorry i've got other things that come first most of the time but here are some pics.
you'll notice your first o2 sensor has been moved farther from its original location, but dc gives you an adapter to lengthen it so no worries.
I did the DIY mechanical 02 sensor, to keep from triggering a cel.

Rep Power: 264 WOw... nice quality headers. They should have done this before they made the one peice. They just want to make more money selling cheap stuff first then the good stuff comes out. If I was n/a I would get that.
NICE DIY on the sensor though. Thats the same DIY I use to avoid CEL.
Good write-up, now, are you the first person to buy this DC Race Header for the 7thgen?

Rep Power: 264 387 aint a bad price at all. I paid like 300 for my 4-1 one-peice then needed to buy another peice that gets rid of the cat.
Overall, either get cheap stuff... megan header, megan cat for like 100-200 or get the dc for 387 shipped.
I personally used the dc 4-1 and the megan downpipe, but havent used the dc race headers to make a review
