Soo... I put my DC-Sports header on last night and it mad my car sound like a 1.5L Single Cam Civic with a straight pipe. I now have $1,000 in my exhaust and my car sounds like it is farting. I am very unhappy with the sound, but the car feels a lot more powerful with the header and exhaust.

 

That's my worst fear, and I DO have a 1.5L engine!

 

That really sukcs. Maybe its time to look into a different exhaust system?

 

i wonder wut it'l sound like with the TRD axle-back..?

 

ouch make way for the rice rocket

 

what exhaust do you have?

 

look at his sig

 

I wonder if its the header??

Dave has the same exhaust with that header (I think) and his sounds fine...

send him a PM and ask- ScionBandit

 

just about any race header will make the car sound ricey, it's just the price you pay for the highflow

 

Maybe not if we put a flowmaster muffler on the car. Has anyone tried this?

 

I have heard a bunch of complaints about that exhaust/header combo. Some about that exhaust alone. I am staying away from the CC exhaust all together.

 

ooohhhhh!!!! dont tell me that.....i said the same thing when i put my header on.. i was hoping to get the CC exhaust to clean up the sound .. i guess there is no way to clean it up.... damn.... ...and the TRD axle back wont help... my custom axle back sounded like a porche until i put my header in.......grrrrr that is BAD news!

 

It even sounds a little raspy with the stock exhaust (what I have)

 

Hey, in that case im thinkin of just putting a turbo muffler on then when i get my header, it will still give me some sound but tone it down a little

 

Uh...I think it'll be the exact opposite. It'll be real loud... I have a friend with a Apex'i N1 Turbo on his Celica GTS and it's very loud...

 

Bad.....

It is not the exhaust it is the header. I highly reccommend the CC exhaust it sounded beautiful until I installed the header.

 

Yeah, the header is without the precat... I bet with it on the exhaust would sound good.

 

yea me too

 

have you thought about adding in a resonator to quiet down the sound?
