i just got my header. it's a dc sports ceramic header. I'm probably gonna be doing the install next week on my day off. i'm gonna try and post pictures of the install. and i have no idea what i'm doing, so hopefully all the mistakes i make will benifit yous guys. it shouldn't be to hard though. i'll keep you guys up to date

 

If you could, can you record a sound file? Also are you running a stock exhaust or something aftermarket? Cant waint to see the DIY.

 

stock exhaust....i'll try and take a short video of us reving the engine...then post that...

 

sweet, cant wait

 

Awsome. Have fun

I too cant wait to read about it.

 

okay guys, gonna do the install in a few hours. just woke up. woohoo.

 

i installed the dc header yesterday on my xb and it did make a noticeable differance. i took of my rear exhaust though because my new exhaust will be in tomorrow. hope everything goes well with your install.

 

curses, striped a nut, couldn't take them off.....yet. might be trying again in an hour...i'll keep you guys updated.

 

Its taken you a little over 8 or so hours just to tell us this. j/k keep us updated & if you can also snap a pic of that bad boy. :D

 

^^ hehe, sorry. i was at a friends house and i couldn't get on the internet. anyways, looks like i'm gonna have to wait till my next day off to do it. bleh. or maybe sunday. anywho, lesson learned, an hour might not be enough time for the engine to cool down. bleh.

 

Hey man thats tight you bought the DC Header, but I just wanted you to knw those things add like no hp! I mean if u want some lil added power like 3-5hp to the wheels thats cool, but its just not worth the money to me.

Hopefully there will be some nice thick headers made for the xA.

 

Lets see here, a 1.5L 108HP engine. Aint much you going to do to get a lot of power from it. Turbo? Look at 30-40% so thats only another 30-40HP at the engine. This aint no big engine car where a header that claims 10% power will give you 30 more HP. Most things out there for this engine claim a good 5% & thats at the engine if I recall. I can under stnad that. So what is a waste of money? Maybe 3k for a s/c kit that gives you 30hp. Thats $100 per HP. At least with a header $200 or so say you get 4hp for easy math thats $50 per HP. sounds like a better deal then the s/c.

 

well, first off i'm not gonna argue that a header doesn't add gobs of power, but what bolt on does? and it isn't always about peak numbers, its about most power under the graph baby. also, what kind of tuner would i be if i didn't do this? hehe. i should have just bought a camry and left it stock. i had a customer the other day call the scions lego cars, and i think that fits....cause we build them up.

 

Yes this is very true. Im just saying I would save your money and w8 for another company to make one or get a custom one made where you could pick up some more hp for a possible cheaper price. I mean to him its not a waste of money, its just to me it is. Im not looking for crazy hp, but you have to understand the sC for this car will make it pretty damn fast seeing how it weighs nothing, but 3k is a lil much.

Personally im waiting for the turbo kit to be approved so I can purchase me one of those.

Hey hp is hp so more power to you!

 

sorry guys, finally did it on thursday.....gotta get everything in order so i can post it. plus, i don't know how to link pictures and video yet. i got clips of 0-60 before and after, and exhuast note before and after. seems faster...dunno though, thinks its just me wanting it to be faster i'll let you guys judge once i have time to post it. hopefully soon though

 

Sweet. Is it that you dont have a place to host the files? Or do you have a place to host just not sure how to add the links here?

 

^^^ .....ummmm yes? heehe. i have neither.

 

I see. I can host the files depending on a few things. Just e-mail them to charlesdennison_03@yahoo.com & I will see what I can do. . Might not get them up for a little while, getting ready to go see RE2 again.

 

well, i'm gonna try and put something together.....like a full write up on install....won't be as grand as it sounds...but i'll try and put something together....i was thinking of just liking from my myspace page....dunno though.
