how would the dc sports headers compare to toda headers? any big differences?? since the todas are pretty damn expensive....and do the dc sports need any modifications to fit on the cl9?

The DC Sports headers are not too bad, I had pretty good gains (From memory, around 11kws gain with VAFCii tuning), it's a BFYB modifications and there are now numourous copies of the DC Sports being manufactured i.e TopSpeed. You don't need to modify anything to fit it onto the Euro.

I now have Toda Racing Headers and that definitely made more power after tuning and you are paying for the quality and design, you can contact Adrian @ TODA AU if you are interested in buying one.

How much tuning ability does the VAFCii give you? Would it be wise for me to get one or to wait for an emanage and vmanage? Also in your educated opinion, what do you think I might make kW atw-wise once all these breathing mods are finished? Do you realistically think I'll get anywhere near 135kW atw?

DC headers are good if you want a power increase without paying a huge amount. The racing headers like; Toda, J's Racing and Maxim are more expensive but will be on the limits of performance for a header. It just depends on the level of performance increase you want for your car. If you're happy for it running whatever % of it's full potential if it costs you less then the DC are fine. If you're going for big power and drag/track results then you won't want to limit yourself with something as important as the header.

The flex pipe on the DC headers and its replicas isn't very good and cracks after a while as Aaron experienced and had to replace. Not expensive though, maybe $120-$150 depending where you go.

In the end it just depends what you want from your car. If you just want a kick in performance then DC are fine, but if you're going full out then a higher quality header is what you'll be looking for

I have the DC and it didn't crack, they put in the inner weld for it on the Rev 2.

Aaron had Xforce rebadged copy.
