I can get a DC Sports Header for $75 off a guy who used it on his show car so he says there's hardly
a couple hundred miles on it..After reading a bunch I'm in-between and most those Posts were old.
So would it be worth the $75 to deal with the rasp and CEL factors?

Ya guess I should re word the question..since most the post i found on it were from 07ish I guess I'm wondering how well do they hold up and has anyone had any issues with these headers in the long run..haha idk guess just wonder if 75$ is a price I can't pass up..

Decent price, minimal gains, looks good though, just use a 45 degree O2 adapter with a 1" extension on the S-pipe O2 censor and you will be fine.

in my opinion it wasnt worth it! lol rasp sucks unless u go out of your way to fix it using a couple huge resonators but the gain is minimal and its more of a pain than its worth!
how ever for 75 thats a good deal its up to u

yeah you'll have to deal with tricking the secondary 02 sensor but its not that big of a deal and the money you saved getting this great deal you can put towards some resonators to get rid of the rasp lol

For that amount, get it, it's not bad. I had it before and it worked great, not better than the DME (copy of Alphawerks) or Weapon R. But good for the price.
