Dc = Crap!

Not on my S......

i used to drive a Civic Si and have Dc Header on it....

But Again Not for My S......

So you people are telling Me to Stick With my OEM Header and Forget About Aftermarket Ones?

Well, stock is cheap, doesn't crack, performs well.

Hahah True True

Unless you're a weight weenie, a HP Junkie and have a small pile of money to burn, stick with the stock header. The money is much better spent elsewhere.

With that said, I went with a Fujitsubo.

I think it all depends on the whole set up, to be all over stock and swapping just the header will not give u much. It is like a chain, I/H/E work together. i have the Spoon one, looks ill, turned gold after a few miles on it, sound nice and I haven't installed my T1R single ex with the test pipe yet, so only a few HP gain is noticeable. As I said, you have to do the whole I/H/E set up first to say witch one its better. And it will NOT be the better header, it will be the better set up. I think the top brands like Amuse, Mugen and Spoon have done their homework, have done their best to provide the best flow and highest possible gain. In witch area this gains are to be seen depend on the phylosofy of the comnpany.
So my review:
Spoon looks good, sound good, amazing quality but the heat shield has to go. This improves the blingbling effect but heats up the engine bay..

Dent go cheap, Dent buy DC or Comptech...I had DC on my previous S in combination with the HKS power exhaust and belive me or not, stock S2k were kickin my ass...but not with my 03 S anymore

Even though the HKS exhaust has been proven to take away HP, the DC header is what you'll go blame. Plus you think comptech sucks? They build race engines for honda's CART cars.

Ever thought that maybe you sucked at shifting and now you're slightly better? S2000 vs S2000 races are pretty much all about the driver.
