DC or Strup headers?
This may have been beaten to death but which would you go for? From what i've seen most people are putting on strup headers. I do understand that both of these headers are copies of the nismo headers right?

go with the one and only crawford...i know your title says dc or strup, but why not buy the best if your going to go with headers.
i have dc and i wish i went crawford..they seem to be the best hands down. its a job you only want to do once so make the best decision you can with this mod.

Strup, if they are a copy of the DC headers its because the guy that owns Strup used to run DC Sports.
Strup, high quality, perfect fitment and you can get them at www.partshippers.com for a great price.

Crawford’s seem to be the best for HP gains for sure. If you don't want to spend that much though there is guy here in our local car club who has two sets of DC's that he wants to sell. One set I believe is the standard ceramic and the other set are the stainless ones that he sent to Jet Hot for their 2000 degree coating which is black. Let me know if you’re interested.

the Crawford is a unique design and since they are not mass produced, they are pricey. They are a very nice header (we don't sell their stuff but I can appreciate when someone makes a better mousetrap!)
The DC and Strup are both great - from the pics I've seen, they are identical. I personally went DC on mine because for the money, you can't bear em
