Headers

[DEFEKTION]

on a scale from 1/10 How hard is it to install a header?

[ExplodingCake]

Non rusted bolts = cake. 9 being easy out of 10
Rusted bolts = cake with WD40 or equivalent. 7/10
Rusted bolts then broken = hard and time consuming. 1-5/10

and what are the permance advantages with a header?

i'm thinking about getting a DC sprot 4-2-1 Ceramic 2 piece header... and would like to know what i'm getting into lol.

[ExplodingCake]

Gives more exhaust flow thus more power. DC headers are expensive. ou can also get an F22A4 header which have the same design as those aftermarket header. It's up to you.

They don't seem that bad, i've been looking at ebay. unless there are fake parts?

[ExplodingCake]

Never heard of Dc having fake ones so i don't know. But I do know that are fake are those spoon and mugen header lol.

If you like DC then go for it

......Nooooo.....

dont do it man

i got headers off ebay once. they do look good and all but they go out fast.
within 3 weeks they got a hole in them.

what made me get them was the price

just get the a4 exhaust mani
its the exact same thing as any 4-2-1 header aside from a bisi header

x2.

A4 header = 25 bux. (from my junkyard) cant go wrong there. Mebe the DC Sport will get you 1 more horse, but is it worth the money?

Here's a minor hijack. How does the A4 header compare to other headers for the f22 DOHC/h23?

I'm guessing they are the same, just wondering if the DOHC motors like different lenght runners or something.

have you guys weighed the DC vs the A4? When i was installing mine, i was amazed at how much lighter the DC header was vs the A4, I would say its about 10lbs lighter. I currently have had mine since may of 05' and have experienced NO problems with cracking, exhaust leaks or any of the ceramic coating peeling away. Got it on Ebay for 225 with shipping brand new. If you shop on ebay, be sure you look at the REAL picture of the ACTUAL item you are buying. And dont go for the DC sport "style" gimmicks either thats the bad stuff. hope that makes your decision easier.

when i installed my exhaust headers it was like 8/10. the header wouldn't slide on. i had to take off the front mount bolt, slide the header in, bolt it. and stick the bolt back on the mount.

plus, i got dc sports headers, and wow it did a major difference. it accels quick.

Never had a problem with the old Megan Racing header I had on that I bought from Ebay

[DarkRidgeRacer]

9/10 to put headers on a car, but also depends what type of car. I put megan racing headers on a 2001 civic and the hard part was taking the O2 sensor off the old one and putting on the new one. When taking off the O2 sensor, make sure the down pipe is warm. I tried to remove the O2 when the pipe was cold and it was stuck on there pretty good.

ive never has a problem with my ebay headers after 2 years!!! but id give install a 2-10 = easy as hell

[oranger]

How have people felt wth the Megan Racing header? I've heard they have some cracking problems, but I really love other megan stuff and am looking at getting one
