That does make more sense since Charlie is my p.o.c. for my sponsorship.

Ok, I stand corrected then. I was told otherwise, obviously by someone who wasn't as informed. Sorry all.

uhh...why are the rear wheels raised off the ground in this video clip when all scions are front wheel drive?
is it just me, or does that seem just a tad overly cautious?

I think i know all about fwd's

I know that the Precisionmuffler.com Axle back is : $270.00



For a deep tone and perfect fit, you can't go wrong with the PrecisionMuffler.com Axle back

This is true , lol , I would rather buy the dc sport or megan racing is all , you can get the dc for cheaper sometimes and it's dc , lol.
Darren,

Who do you think the "D" in DC is? S t r u p
Oh yeah I know but the strup is more expensive and a lesser brand even if it's by the same designer/engineer.

I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for". The strup header and exhaust are incredible. Awesome build quality and perfect fit.

you just made a funny.

Strup a lesser brand then DC? Hardly. would you like to see photos of my old dc header which split at the welds (common on honda applicatons)? did you know that www.hytechexhaust.com had DC halt production on their DC headers for honda bseries manifolds at one point for copywrite infringement?

When you see the strup piece...then claim its a lower quality design. Problem is...when you see it..you can't say that.

fyi...tommorow i'm bringing back the 30dollar rebate on the strup pieces. Ihave to...i'm getting flooded with emails after word of mouth due to their quality product. Seems everyone is getting their tax checks because they want the rebate to continue.

whats an accusation without a photo

quality control. Design is one thing...quality control is another.

on the manifold side...right side. look at the black area at the merger. the carbon. thats where its blowing through.

I didnt say the piece was of lower quality I just stated that the name brand is lesser known , sorry if I didnt make thjat clear. I dislike all mild steel headers cuz they often times crack.

any decent p[roduct should fit well. the quality is debateable. but I know whether it's quality or not how many people like to pay 320 for a piece that makes so and so hp when a very close to identical product made by another manufacturer also with good fit and finish gives you the same hp but for half the price?

And not to hate but lip arent you a sponsor selling the strup pieces? I have to say that your opinion is biased towards other companies. I'm not sponsored or selling any of these products I've seen the dc , megan racing and alphaworks header and imo the megan is the best for the money . and I know that the strup is the same design , maybe better quality but same design as the dc so.... i'll take the chance and save a buttload. even if I had LOTS of money i go for best deal as far as hp per dollar.

i know with the megan, you had to change some bolts or something....with the strup, is it the same as the DC, in that it uses factory bolts and gasket?

i only needed new nuts to use because the lower junction on the early megan pieces were not tapped but perfectly clean holes they are now tapped holes , and 1.20 or so in hardware is worth the 100+ dollar savings in price.
