Not a great shot, but here is the DC header on a 2012. Perfect fit.

If you haven't gotten the dc yet, let me tempt you with the Weapon R 4-2-1 header...

i will probably go with the weapons, id rather the mid range, this little car needs the power on the highway, i'm used to 3 times the torque :(

are there any linear springs available? i'm not a fan of progressive.

Same here. Our driving is all between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm even on the freeway in 5th gear. So I got a 4-2-1 header that helps that range the most. (Micro Image has the lowest Weapon R price around. )

i'm used to 3 times the torque :(

Everything I drive is gutless... but gets good mileage.

None that I've ever heard of. Although others here are way more knowedgeable about suspension then I am.

So far everything from the second gen fits. And I don't think the suspension was changed at all, so everything still should fit. Take a look at what MI sells for a start.

Hmm, I know MI are linear, I thought most of the other brands were too. It seems even Eibach though are progressive. The springs that list a rate are linear, the only other ones seem to be the Tein S-techs.

I put a DC header on my old Matrix. It was super easy. Was your install easy?

I really want one for my SE.

The hardest part is getting off the stock manifold and all of the heat shields.
