Torn between Alphawerks or DC Sports Headers

I can't decide on which set of headers to purchase for my G35 sedan. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year!

I think from a price stand point you won't find much of a difference in build quality between the two (overall shape and design). I think TopSpeed Pro-1 headers and maybe even Strup also fall in the same category as the headers you are mentioning above. In the end it will come down to price if you are choosing between those. The big difference would be to compare either of those to NISMO or Crawford headers, but then again, it's just my opinion from having done research regarding this subject.

I didn't know that, but I was just trying to compare the different manufacturers that make similar designs. From one brand to another you could be paying more for close to the same design ie: DC Sports Headers and TopSpeed Pro-1. Just something to consider when choosing, that's all.

I personally have TopSpeed Pro-1 headers, no complaints here. Solid welds, great design, decent gains for what I paid for them. The only problem is finding someone to install them for a good price, or you can try to DIY.

Betcha $50 Bucks it does. Maybe they don't know it, because they never tried, but sedan and coupe are they same.

everything on the coupe and sedan exhuast wise is the same from the engine block all the way to the end of the Y-pipe. i have the TopSpeed and so far i like them (they're same design as DC Sports and i think the NISMO design is very similar).

most headers for the 350z/G35 have a similar design, with the possible exception of the Crawfords which are much different than the rest

And I'll say it again, partshipperdave told me it doesn't fit on the sedan. Maybe the Strup's are designed a little different? Who knows.

Thanks for clarifying that.
Can anyone confirm that Alphawerks and DC Sports are designed the same?
