Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior hotshot or DC?

hotshot, or DC headers for my GT celica??? and why? i want to purchase soon, but i dont know which to get. please help me

dc the gains are good plus its a known brand...well known

yeah i was thinking about getting DC because of their popularity

DC is 7.2 whp
HS is 10 hp gain, but I don't know if that's at the wheels or at the engine.

I thought DC sucked the big one I've heard nothing but good things about hotshot. I've heard that the hotshot puts down about 8whp.

HS - gains are the best for GT. I recently had mine installed and the power is noticeable...

did you install it yourself? if not, how much did it cost to have done?

had a shop install it - $60

where can you get the hotshot headers online ?

lots of sites. i just typed it in under google and got http://www.prostreetonline.com/pso/pages/productdetail.asp?productname=HotShot+Race+Headers
and http://www.hotshot.com/headers/TY3028.htm

$320 shipped from Titan Motorsports - ask for Bottle

really? damm, thats an ausome price. is bottle the guy's name?

i haven't seen dynos on DC yet..

and hotshot dynoed at like 4-5 more hp at the wheels.

ok, im pritty sure im going to get the hotshot header. lots of people have it, and ive never herd anything bad about them, and DC is owend by AEM which lies hella on dyno's, so i dont trust anything they say

go HS

go with hs...i know a lot of gt's here on the forum have the hs headers and has gotten nothing but positives

I want a HS header... but I have no cash right now...

Anybody know if bottle at Titan will still do the $325 shipped? Last I saw on the site it was back up to $399

doesnt hurt to call and ask

hmm ok...i want to get some too, guess i will go with hot shot headers...better for GT

HS it is, but I'm just curious to see what Trial's will dyno

hotshot headers. i'm going to get one when summer comes.

yeah, read on the new import racer that trial will soon release the gt version. it'll probably do better than hs but it'll cost you $$$$ (like anything from japan; doesn't necessarily mean the best, though).

I just wanna see the price tag on the Trial header to see if I have enough saved

statements say it should be the same as the gts version (ouch)

dc=STREET LEGAL 50-STATE carb
Hotshot=not street legal/for race use

but honestly...wait till someone BUYS the DC first...dyno it and see if there are no problems with them...then make your decision...

ok, i called and asked for bottle, but he said he couldnt do 320 anymore. i got it for 399 (411shipped). and he said it would be in the mail in 2-3 days. i cant wait for it

still worth it Norway - good buy

DC...$270 HERE [optionsauto.com]

wait isn't hs only for the gt? so wat about the gts? can you use the hs on a gts? because i want the most hp outta the headers and hs is saying 10hp and dc is 7hp. trail is way too expensive.

from options auto salon "With the installation of a DC Sports header, you'll feel a 10 to 14 horesepower gain over stock as well as increased torque throughout the RPM band."

feel wtf does that mean. is it a guestimate.

Hotshot header will NOT fit GTS, nor will any other GT header. COmpletely different header designs.

And yes the hotshot header is street legal, it even has the O2 sensor in the exact same spot as stock.

for GTS get TRD or Trial...they both have 10-11 hp gained at the WHEELS.
