DC or Strup headers?

I've posted the comparison pictures numerous times, so why not once more, eh? The tubing design is identical between the strups, DCs, nismos, alphawerks and topspeeds. The only discernible difference is that DC took the extra step to de-bur the welds on the inside of the collector:

I was curious about it myself so I called DC today and they said they don't have a Race Header available for the 350Z but they do for some other cars. For the 350z they have two stainless versions, one polished & one satin finished and the ceramic version all of which have the same bends, flange, pipe diameter, etc.. just different materials & finishes.

Do you have HFC's or test pipes ? if you are going to install headers now is the time to get rid of the OEM cat's ( very restrictive ). I had my Strup headers installed with Crawford HFC's and saved a few dollars on the install. After these two mods I felt more pull up top in the rpm band... As I was told, your exhaust will only flow as good as the weakest think, my combo ( in sig ), seems to have worked very well.. you will also want to get more air into the motor via intake and plenum and then of course a tune....Good luck and keep an eye on the market place, always a good deal to be found.

I have an 06 revup, will the strups fit into my engine bay alright? I know the 06 revup have that stupid stearing colum thats different, but would the headers still fit alright and not rub anythin?

My receipt said $571 for DC ceramic headers. Bought them new from a member here though - only paid $330. I believe the stainless are $699

Sorry for being this back to life but just thought that I would add that strup headers are a flying sack of $hit. Not even 2000 miles on mine and the flange broke right off of my driver side header. Now I sit here doing this pita job over again because I bought a garbage product. Buyer beware
