Currently I have a Ractive 2 piece header on my 93', and I don't know if I should replace it with a DC, or keep this one. I looked on the net for these Ractive headers and they're pretty expensive like $229 for what I have. So basically does this one even compare to a DC, or should I replace it?

DC sports is way better than Ractive.

 

IT depends on your goals. I can tell you that switching between the two will probably not net you a noticible gain in power, even if the DC is well designed. I guess it depends on your budget, and whether or not you want to squeeze every last bit of power out of your motor in current form. I would say keep your current header and replace and upgrade if it were to crack.

 

with the mod list you have planned, every bit of backpressure you get from an inferior header will cost you power. it probably wont be noticeable now, but after all the other plans come to fruition, get a new header. but yeah, i didnt read the part about you already having the Ractive, so keep it for now, its not worth spending the money to replace it instead of a whole new mod. and though ractive cant compare to DC, its not too bad for the cheaper headers.

 

exactly what i had planned, thanks sacicons.

 

replace it. i have a lonely dc 4-1 one peice waiting for a new home.

 

thanks for the offfer bro, but I got my self a dreded auto here, and a DC 4-1 wont fit nothing but a 5 speed.

 

Why dont it fit a auto??? auto and 5spd are pretty much the same right???

 

No, auto is bigger than a 5 speed, and this DC 4-1 isn't the only part that won't work, AEM V2 also wont' fit.

 

i had a dc header on my first dx auto (it was a 4-2-1). i would have put in on the one i have now but the car came with one.
