Default DC sports or Alphawerks? what header shud i buy?

So i ordered the alphawerks header from killertc... but they emailed me and told me that the alphawerks header is backed up 50 days and that they wud send me the DC sports header instead for the same price... But i cannot decide what to... the alphawerks header makes the CEL come on, whereas the DC sports doesnt... the AW looks better than the DC sports... Idn what to do.. .tell me what you think i shud buy...

sorry bud but any after market header will throw the cel light. i have the dc-sport and it came on. i went with the dc because its ceramic coated and holds in heat a little better than polished headers. but its up to you.

I would say that it matters on your choice of intake. You'd think that running a matched combo, like dc sport and aem would be better. I don't Know If alph makes an intake or not? Personally I went with the dc and aem. The dc header was cheaper and it did set of the cel. The biggest thing with a header is the noise of your exhaust. A few people are getting tickets 'cuse of the noise, but I haven't yet.
