Default Which Header is the Best?

Want to upgrade to DC Sports Header, I'm using some cheapo eBay thing.

What do you guys prefer? Ceramic or polished? Anything better than DC?

Dezod's headers are the best you can buy.

well as for most people would agree that you pay for what you get... I cant speak for the other brands. Sounds great, but that all depends on your setup. I have after header: invidia s-pipe/dezod 2.5 cat-back/trd intake.

as for performance:

Ended up going with Dezods new 4-1 Red. Boasts the most gains out of any header available. Pricey but Dezod seems to know their sh*t when it comes to the tC.

No worries bud! No judgement from me! I actually looked at the Dezods after i originally posted and their numbers are impressive... the price tag is too but its all down to where you want to go with the motor and vehicle set up...

which boils it down "to each their own"...

i have also found over the years that even with the highest "out put" parts on the car... other parts added (ie-- fuel mgmt, air intake/ induction, etc) actually hinder total performance instead of complimenting each other and working in conjunction to get the highest gains on the all around for the set up... maybe too technical and indepth, but thats the car geek in me... tuning for perfection!!!

whatever the case... please let us all know how they preform!!! ill be watching!
