[CB7xTURBO]

ok so i got some used DC headers for my f22 from a fellow cbtuner member.. didnt come with gaskets or orings so i got a hold of DC and they said they dont have any to buy and said that the dc headers use original orings so i brought to a friend and he tried every different oring at his job which is kragen auto parts.. he tried a1 a4 a6 gaskets non fit even from different cars lol and none fit right.. so where can i get these guys?

you try anywhere else??? a buddy of mine used some copper sealant...idk exactly what it is cause he did it when i wasnt around but its been fine...im pretty sure you can find a gasket that will fit...

make one yourself, i used a silicone gasket maker for my spacer and worked beautifully

i tried that method with my Megan racing Header, that thing leaked like a bucket with a shotgun blast. I ended up having to order the right gasket from Megan for 25 bucks because the auto parts stores only had the crush ring style gasket.

what is this copper sealant u guys are talking about..

[Leung]

It's just a high temp sealant. You'll it find it with the silicone sealants.

It comes in a spray can its in the sealant, gasket, grease section....at autozone its on the bottom shelf in the bins, kinda next to the brake quiet goo

[CB7xTURBO]

will it work if i just put that only? no rings just that sealant stuff?

[Leung]

i doubt it will hold for long.

i used gasket maker, it lasted for about two years. The trick is to put a moderate amount on, tighten just a bit--not completely. Let it dry for a couple hours and harden, and then tighten some more--i didnt do this but just torqued my downpipe down hard core squeezing the gasket maker out lol.

i have an exahust leak, but it's not that bad, probably going to tighten it today.

i have a DC header and LOVE IT... once you place theses metal crush rings in and tighten that down you will be more than pleased.

I have throughly beat this header, i got it used, have destroyed a 2.5'' aftermarket flex pipe and through all the assembly and dissasemble my header still dosn't leak... dont try that with the megan racing ones, i have a megan for my gf's a6 and one for the h22 but i hate them, the gasket is junk and one time use.

i have taken this thing apart at least 3 times since i got it (3months) not due to the header, more due to fresh swap and going over curbing while sliding off the track. but at least it seals everytime i bolt it together.

you dont truly know how nice it is until you have owned a megan racing header...

now that i am done rambling... buy 2 of theses, it dosn't matter H22 or F22, honda used the same size i cross checked the part #'s for you.
