The Headers are a pain in the $@# to install, But you can do it yourself on a pair of jackstands. No impact needed. Takes about 8 hours to do them yourself if you have a good selection of tools. A second set of hands comes in handy also.

Well, I am interested in some more dynos of these headers, as the ones that I have seen don't show much torque added to the power curve.

the stockers are very restrictive...and adding them would compliment a complete exhaust system...wouldn't be my first choice either but can't beat the deal....and can't be too much of a performance difference as they are equal length headers as are the others (nismo, crawford, stillen)...much better than the stockers, for sure...and cheaper than the others out there...right now that is

lovetoclown,

have you installed your dc sports headers yet? just curious to see if you've felt or seen any performance difference? not really sure of dc sports products, but this IS a good price. Thanks.

It's a good enough deal for me to take the Borla headers off and do the labor all over again in my garage on jack stands!

I installed them a couple of weeks ago. There seems to be a little more power in the mid to upper Rpm's. The workmanship is very good on these headers. You can't go wrong for the money.

DC headers are traditionally cheap as hell... but even at that price, it's TOO cheap.

Trust me, ZERO money is being made.

Milk it while it lasts...
they are loosing a bit more then 100 dollars per set...

I sell the stainless ones for around $629 on our web site...

i have a special price for forum members on those...

Damn! Summit will lose $100 buck on each at that price? I really don't know how this is gonna swing, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Default Price Just Went Up.

The price for the SS headers is now $652.95. I guess they caught their mistake. Now we just have to wait and see what happens.

I got my confirmation calls from Summit... looks like I might still be getting my personal headers...

For you Southern California folks who do get them... contact me on pricing for header installation.

No Jason, I understand that they are loosing $100 on each header they sell, not profit but actual capital

I got a call from Summit yesterday (working on Memorial Day?) trying to confirm the delivery address so I called them this morning. They confirmed the delivery date, part number, application, AND the price! This is looking like I might get this header at an awesome price.

Called today and it looks like they will not be getting another shipment until the 12th of this month. LOL he said that they have taken alot of orders for these and that DC Sports is trying to keep up with the demand. But nothing was said about any kind of change in price, so it looks like we are locked in with this wonderful price. ( Me so happy )
