Could this be true?

 

Oh crap, this was suppose to be in drivetrain and Power.

 

Based on DC sports website looks like its a real thing

 

yes DC is making headers, they have been in touch with me about it. but last i heard is that its still in pre-production phase. (hence no photos but pre-ordering is available in some cases)

 

Talking to DC today. They have a prototype ready and are ready for production. They are calling me back in regards to timeline and availability. Will update asap

 

Looking forward to seeing some photos....they have an intake, exhaust and strut tower bar for our car as well, not sure when available though

 

tower bar should be available end of spring/beginning of summer

 

Bad news. Header only added about 5 hp and about same amount of tq. DC isn't happy with that so they're taking it back for some tweaking. Nothing definite on a timeline but it is a real thing and I intend to be one of the first to test it out.

 

Yeah, that's too bad. I plan on ordering one as soon as they are available.

 

Yeah. I think they definitely need to go back to the drawing board on that. We make between 6-9WHP bolt on to a TC2 WITH a high flow cat. And our power gains are not just peak. We elevate the entire area under the curves making power throughout as you can see from the dyno.

Firstly, Jim's engine bay is oh so sexy with that Dezod Green. Second, there's a 200$ price difference between the DC and Dezod header. Hence why it sparked my interest. All that being said.. the girlfriend is still buying me a Dezod Green for the birthday in March.

 

DC hasn't even totally released a part let alone pricing. So I wouldn't hold that margin as a constant yet.

Secondly, American made parts (ours) with American grade stainless (ours) is undoubtedly going to be more $ than China made with China stainless (DC). Again, not knocking DC, but we have a severe leg up in many facets.

 

These are useless if you just slap them on to replace the stock ones.
It really makes me laugh when I hear my sisters b/f say " Once I put the Intake on my Honda Prelude thats automatically 15hp then with exhaust 30hp and forget it! once I get the headers thas another 25-30hp" I can't stand people who lack knowledge and refuse to listen to others with useful info.

Port and polish the head and valve work is required in my opinion. Unless you are working on building your engine then DO consider these.

 

Bench dyno racing is priceless I do agree there, however our header DOES in fact add power with nothing else being done to the car. We have proven it. It also makes throttle response more crisp. In my opinion, it feels the way it should have been from the factory.

 

Never fear Mr. Dezod. Ultimately I'll be going with your product. Can't beat an emissions legal header.

 

"49 state legal"

so what's the state its not legal in?

 

The emissions legal ****'s aka California. No aftermarket cat is legal there. Damned CARB

 

Would it pass California smog check? Question's directed to dezod.

 

Funny answer for that. You're going to love this one.....Yes it will pass sniff, but will fail visual.

 

would have known. haha
