DC sports has always been a very good company, now AEM just bought them so hopefully they will stay as competitive and reliable, on the otherhand the megan header looks the best, im still deciding on either megan or dc also and havent made the decision yet, as far as the CEL lights, i was told neither the DC or the megan would set the CEL light off, but I could be misinformed.

i'm trying to decide between dc and alphaworks. i'm leaning towards alphaworks at the moment but i still have untill the end of the month to decide. i wouldn't go megan because they have the precat and it still throws a CEL. so why restrict your exhaust and still have a CEL.

I Just made an order on the Alphawerks. I think they are the best right now.

I'm going thru this now myself.....honestly, I think I'm going to wait until I can see in person what all three of these look and sound like. I don't expect there to be any significant HP differences between the three, so it will come down to CEL issue, sound, and look, for me.

The DC sports is a 4-2-1 and the others are 4-1, I think the 4-2-1 gives more power in low - mid range and the others mid - high range.

Order a header from Racing Solution and we'll throw in the spark plug anti-fouler device for FREE.. The Megan Racing header will have it in the box, DC Sports one will ship seperately. PM me for details.

Well,,, a ton of you are saying that Alphawerks is better without any reasoning. Please explain a bit on your choice and where you've seen that the performance is greater.

No reasoning, apparently the one not reasoning is you ,by not reading the numerous and ubiquitous post on the Alphawerk header, and also the propensity for us to pick Alphawerks. Read and do a SEARCH then post. Im sure you will concider our choice the most sensible one after you've done so.
