RSXtypeIvtec is on a distinguished road
i believe their on back order, unless you know some place that has some in stock
but i believe its only the 5-speeds with problems, due to shaving the motor mount
everyone with auto's seem to easily install it with no problems...dont think it is that hard to install, but i havent done it yet
so cant really help ya out there

WHY CANT ANYONE READ? YOU HAVE TO SHAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON ALL MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. PERIOD!!!!!

I have installed 3 hp headers. Mine, Bluenvy, and WhosYourDaddy. The only one you dont have to shave is the automatic transmission. All manuals you have to shave the front mount or drop the motor put it on and put the motor back in. So just shave the damn mount!!!!!!!!!!

The hp "race" header w/cat is a long-tube, equal-length design. That is why the mount needs to be cut as the outside tube passes right through it.

DC header is a "shorty" design and looks just like the oe one except the tubes' diameter is slightly larger. It is a direct bolt-on. I have the dc header and feel it is definately worth the $80 bucks I paid for it. It definately added some mid-range power. I could easily feel the gain.

I plan to get the hp w/cat as soon as it is off backorder though. So, a dc header will be for sell at some point.
