Need help deciding on a Street Legal Header!

Sup everyone!

Planning on gettin' a header within the next week or so and I'd like to hear from those who already have one. Let me know what you have and the type of gains you've experienced with it. I was looking into a DC Sports 4-1 Header to go along with my AEM V2 SR and Greddy EVO2 exhaust . My only criteria is that the header be street legal. Five-O in Jersey are a pain.

Hit me up.

Any header should be legal in Jersey as long as you keep your catalytic converter. But if you wanna stay legal for visual purposes then DC is the one for you. There's another one that I've seen on ebay that is C.A.RB exempt but i forgot the name.

SURE!!! Let me know when you're ready. Take some pics, and hit me up. I'll definitely be interested. BTW, is it ceramic or stainless steel?

most headers are no good for our car if your planning on keeping the catalytic converter because most of them are roughly the same size as OEM so dont expect much power gain. just buy a race header, put it on when your gonna use it. its not that hard to put it on and take it off your better off that way if you dont want to deal with cops. and emission problems.

Everyone....thanks for your input and suggestions. I decided on the DC Sports 4-1 Header. Found a great deal so I jumped on it! Can't wait to get it and install it. I'll post photos once I put it on.
