The hissing noise is because of a cracked flex pipe. I had mine replaced, and any shop can do it. If you want to take preventative measures, go ahead and have them do it before they install the header.

Your review is more important that what I think I remember from the old site.
Edit:
That being said, from looking around the web, there are a lot of negative experiences buying motors from them, and they pretty much all are due to their poor customer service and taking forever to ship items they said should take less than a week to ship. There are similar complaints from people buying parts from them. Most of these date back to early to mid 2007, so things could have changed.

Just to let you guys know, I can get 20-25% off most parts from Phantasm in Raleigh, NC. They ship for free to most areas, so if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me about it and I'll see what deal I can get you. They also have AIM so it's easy to get in contact with them.

I just received my new ceramic DC headers and I wanted to make people aware of a couple things.
First, the flex pipe is now weave inside and out. No "accordion" piece visible inside.
Second,
there is a major quality control issue with DC where they are not fully cooking the ceramic coating
. When they ship and rub again the blastic bag they are in, it can cause a black or rust color stain. In fact I thought it was rust at first. I spoke with the sales guy I am going through who explained the issue. They are going through all their inventory right now to look for this and send them back to DC. I'll be getting new ones advanced exchanged so I'm cool with it.
Just a heads up to those who might be looking to get a set.

How hard is it to put a quality flex pipe on their headers? I have heard maybe of one or two people that have had no issues with this. That's the only reason I'm really not considering headers at this time.

It's not really an issue of the flex pipe, but it is an issue of the header not fitting. I guess if you're going to have them chop off the flex pipe and weld on a new one, you should go for it. I would still get DC though.

i had my flex pipe replaced with a better quality one. It cost me $75 for parts and labor. Granted my flex pipe wasn't cracked or anything, but it did give off a strange whistle noise. Once it was replaced no more strange noises

If it was making a "whistling" noise, then it was cracked. That's the exact same problem I had. When I went to the exhaust shop to get it fixed, I specifically told them that I thought it was the flex pipe. They brought me back into the shop before they replaced it to show me that I was right. Dave (striktlyaccord) had the exact same issue and I also recommended that he have his flex pipe replaced when I heard the noise. After he replaced his, the noise went away also.
