does anyone in here have headers on their xb? if so, what's the power increase? are you using a cat. converter or straight pipe? can you pass smog with headers? and finally, are they a pain in the ___ to install?

 

I have a DC Sport header on my Xb. Been on for about a month now.

Installation was very easy. A freind and myself did it in 45 minutes. Something like 14 bolts to take off, and 7 to go back on. You'll lose a brace and the heatshield, but that's no biggie.

I have a K&N intake, and Borla axleback. The power increase was slight, but then again I wasn't expecting much. The Borla is slightly loud, but sounds nice. I din't notice a change in volume with the header.

I wasn't planning on doing the header, but I got it from ebay faily cheap, so I figured why not.

 

headers will pass smog as long as its carb legal.
