I've had these headers and exhaust for about a month no so i'm excite to be installing them. I got DC headers and a focuz exhaust from the local junk yard for $90 bucks!. I picked the headers up for $70 and i know that was a steal. I don't know anything about the focuz exhaust i picked up tho. My current exhaust has a how bunch of holes in it, so i decided to take the exhaust off the same car i got my headers from. Anyone know about focuz exhaust?

Bwuahahah
OP: Good deal on the dc header, and a non leaking exhaust is always better than one that leaks, even if it is 'cheap crap'.Last edited by cloudasc; 07-24-2013, 08:25 PM.

And are you correcting my usage of "it's" in each of those cases? Because in each instance, I intended it to mean "it is", as is the proper usage of the contraction.

Originally posted by 8ball View PostI think the very first upgrade you should do to an older car is usually in this order.
Tires
Brakes
Suspension
I would start with tires.
I'm saving up for my suspension now, but still not sure what suspension set-up i want to go with. Coilovers or springs. any suggestions?
By the way finished with the install a bit ago and there's a deep tone to it, not too ricey. And it feels a bit faster off the line. I think it sounds great. Also I ran into no problems while taking off the old exhaust and header and putting the new one on.(This never happens , i usually have a least one bolt break on me)

Normally an apostrophe followed by an 's' means possession, but in the case of 'it' a lack of an apostrophe would . Isn't english great?Last edited by cloudasc; 07-25-2013, 02:48 AM.

Originally posted by Ogdenjor08 View PostFirst off, I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong; I think that the order should be switched around a bit (depending on how much wear the car has I guess). For example, I just got my car about a month ago and the suspension and brakes were both in very poor condition. I'm in the process of ordering every control arm and ball joint (Moog) for my CB. I just replaced the brakes two weeks ago , also did the front wheel bearings while I had it apart. My point I guess is depending on what kind of shape your car is in....other things may be more important on the list of what to fix than something else. But if you are going to go buy tires, there's nothing wrong with a nice used tire...or two. But putting new tires on worn suspension components is like throwing money away IMHO. Just my .02
To the OP. Nice.

Yea my stock exhaust piping and muffler looked like swiss cheese.
When i first got the car i put new tires on it and new brake pads and rotors.

Do your research on the suspension. Don't even listen to suggestions until you have a proper understanding of what things do, and how they work together. There is a LOT of bad suspension information on this site, and people will continue to give it. Read the "sticky" threads in the suspension section of this site, particularly those written by mndude07. That will get you looking in the right direction. Suspension is one of the things that can kill you if you do it wrong, so it's smart to learn a good deal before even touching it!
As for "headers", no problem. That, and "vtech" are the two most common noob mistakes... and people can get pretty brutal with those things.
The exhaust and header have likely made your car slower off the line, actually. The restriction of the stock pieces allowed for more torque lower in the RPM range. By opening it up, you've increased the overall power, but moved it up in the powerband. Unless you're launching off the line, you're probably making less power than you were. At higher RPM, however, it's a different story. The header/exhaust combo may have given you 10-15hp (probably closer to 10, honestly.)

Also, kudos on the proper spelling and usage of "per se". I've seen highly educated people type "per say".
