DC sports vs Weapon R street header

i'm looking at purchasing a header for my GD soon... i've done lots of research so far, i just want opinions

DC sports
-No fitment issues
-Ceramic coated
-makes power in the mid to high RPM

Weapon R street
-likely too short
-Stainless steel
-Uncoated (WR voids warranty if done)
-makes power in the lower to mid range RPM

Can anyone tell me if the WR as equal length runners? the WR is a lot cheaper so i might end up with this one... but i also want eventually a ceramic coat to help with heat... so it would end up at pretty much the same price... i also want to have a exhaust delete for track this summer so i think that with the WR the combo will give me good power throughout the whole powerband

Please i would like some input!

When I had the WR Street header I don't remember there being any fitment issues. Small gain in the lower range.

I bought a used Weapon R and I'm gonna clean it up with some Nevr-Dull. IMO a header''s a header... and any gain is worth the deal . Just keep the old one and it can be restored or just stored if theres any problem, doubt there will be, but I hear that the weapon r plus Skunk 2 catback sound is BADASS BTW this is my first time post .

people say they notice power at first but the ECU adjusts the fuel and air which makes it slower... i would save your money

@DOHCtor: do you remember what was the number of your Denso IK22 5310 or 5348? i think it's the first one, but i came across cheap 5348... yours we're 12$ a piece right?

Yeah! Something like 12$ a piece! Now i have NGK BKR6EIX-11 on it and they perform the same! Except those NGK are way easier to get by at any Canadian Tire!

Denso IK22 5310! I still have the packaging with the original plugs! Their lifetime is 60 000km!! Ohh!! I had them on the car last time i went to the dragstrip... with something like .080in gap on them.. In that sense, maybe i gained a couple HP sincei changed them!! lol
