DC Sports Headers

When you are looking for upgrading your car’s performance, one of the best ways to do this is with a performance header. DC Sports has been producing some of the best performing headers for the longest time, and produces one of the most widely used exhaust header today. While other companies copy the DC Sports design, DC Sports pioneers it.
DC Sports Headers are designed in a few various styles for you to be able to pick the exact combination that you want. The two main styles is the DC Sports Ceramic Header and the DC Sports Stainless Steel Header. If you are looking for a header that is CARB legal and will pass smog inspection, you want to look at the DC Sports Header. As DC Sports releases new headers, they do not always have CARB certification right away. However, as a new car, you do not need to pass smog right away, you usually have about 4 years until you need to do your first smog check. By this time, DC Sports CARB pending headers will usually be CARB certified. To find out from the ARB or Air Resources Board which DC Sports headers are smog legal, view the ARB Website, and search by DC Sports as the manufacture. Please keep in mind that DC Sports Race Header is not CARB exempt.
Now that you know which DC Sports headers are CARB legal and will pass smog visual and tailpipe inspection, we will go into detail about the performance differences between the DC Sports 4-2-1 and DC Sports 4-1 header. The DC Sports 4-1 header is designed for more top end all out power, and does not give as much power in the low end. This is good for those who are seeking peak horsepower numbers. The DC Sports 4-2-1 header is designed for more midrange power, and is great for those who use their cars mainly for daily driving, or autox, and are not necessarily looking for peak power numbers. However, the horsepower difference between the two will be small, and will only vary by a few horsepower for most applications.
DC Sports Headers are available with polished stainless steel and brushed stainless steel, and have beautiful hand welded tig welds at the flanges. The brushed stainless headers are hand mig welded, and feature that custom look that is very desirable. The DC Sports Ceramic headers are mild steel, but coasted with a special temperature and corrosion resistant ceramic coating, with a special coating thickness. Each header is designed to have the best ground clearance available, so even those of you with lowered cars will have more room to not bump your header on rocks and speed bumps.
