ADMIN EDIT:
Just like the other threads, I have taken the MULTIPLE threads that all have the same fucking topic and lumped them into one thread.  I have done this because there is no reason to have more than one thread for one topic.  Any more new threads that are created will be deleted and a temporary ban may be considered for not following the forum's rules.  Please post any questions, comments, or advice in this thread instead of creating a new thread from now on.

OP:
I want to pull the header I have off and get a new one.  Not happy with it, should have bought a new one in the first place.

My paypal account is fudged up and I keep issueing a $1.32 refund to the buyer and I still cannot get my account resolved.  I have spent around 3 hours with their outsourced call center in india and I cannot seem to get anywhere.

So, question is...does anyone know where I can pick up a DC header (ceramic or SS) off a website for a reasonable price?  I've found a few but they are through the roof expensive.

Just for future reference to anyone it may pertain to, DC ceramic header can be obtained thru a couple sites (that are not easy to find) for the same price as ebay.

http://www.directtuning.com is probably the best.  $328 free shipping.

https://www.jazzproparts.com/ $300 free shipping, little cheaper than ebay.

Thanks for the info man.  I will have to share this with my friend from work (who hasn't posted on here yet) when he looks for a header.

DC Sports all the way. OBX are really cheap, and they have really bad fitment issue.

I'd stick with the proven company and go with DC. They have been around awhile and from what i've heard make a really solid product.

DC all the way.  OBX has a bad name in general.  I just put mine (DC SS) on after getting a good deal.  Like you, my oem flex pipe wasn't looking to pretty, although it wasn't leaking yet.  Not to go off topic, but if your car is reasonably high mileage, cosider replacing your rear motor mount at the same time since you can actually get at it without lowering your subframe.  For me with ~120000 miles on my car it made a huge difference in shift quality.

Careful with jazzpro.  I remember somebody posting a negative experience with them on the old g7a.  Something about horrible customer service.  Of course, things could have changed since then.

Yeah those look like the same prices they've been for a while now. I got mine for somewhere between your highest and lowest a lil over a year ago. Luckily I'm one of the few with no flex pipe issues. *knock on wood*

Not to contradict you, just as a side note...but I have dealth with jazzproparts ONCE and didn't have an issue.  It was for Nissan parts.  I didn't however have to deal with their cust. service dept.

That's pretty good advice and a great idea man.  

On a side note, just to end the discussion on OBX.  It sucks.  Installed their products for customers before.  Don't waste your money, please.
