To be honest there isn't much of a difference in the feel of torque or traction but it's a good header, fits well and comes with two 'DC Sports' vinyl decals. and a CARB sticker. 4 stars because it came without hardware. Well packed.
Great price. The title is perfect for the block. The only problem is the manifold bolts and spring. I think the springs were too long because I couldn't connect the collector to the downspout with the spring in between as advertised. Simple fix, I put the spring on the outside of the flange and screwed the bolt through and it fitted perfectly.

Pros
Larger than standard pipe for increased exhaust flow
I bought a used ep3 and the previous owner installed one of these. My ep3 only has 100,000 miles and I had to replace this secondary pad because it was developing a lot of serious cracks. The cracks allowed exhaust fumes to enter the interior of my car through the air vents and I felt really bad. As this is a fairly low mileage car I suspect the material they were made from was weak resulting in a bad exhaust leak.
