Default DC 4-2-1 Header & Lightweight Crank Pulley

So I have been wanting to know if getting the DC 4-2-1 header and possibly a lightweight crank pulley actually make any noticeable difference?

I want to know what I would be getting into before actually going forth with doing this. I am just unsure if it would actually be worth it or not, so I wanted to ask and see what others opinions were.

I installedthe header and Cai and it was definitely noticeable. The crank pulley is good to from what I read. I actually have my DC header and injen polished Cai for sale since I went turbo. Cheap!

Ooh really? How much were you looking for the header?

I've considered probably getting the DC header, still debating on the pulley though.

Looking for 175 shipped. As it was only installed for 1000 miles and only has 2 scratches you can't see when installed

If you get one, just make sure it is ceramic coated, as if not, the under hood temperature in the summer will cause a -10HP influx from heat soak..

Would it also be wise to wrap the header as well? I've heard it would be a good idea to do so.

I don't know on the Scion products, i know on the American Iron it's only a good idea if you only drive the car at a track, since metal when heated expands, and when headers are wrapped, it can't expand and causes it to crack.

Personally i wouldn't try it if the car is a daily driver, but all that being said, it does work.
