DME headers vs. DC Sports headers
You need to install a nice long resonator. The sound that you are getting is rasp. Will happen when you replace the OEM exhaust manifold with and aftermarket header. Had the same problem with my DME. The only way I was able to get rid of the rasp was by adding 40" of resonator.

The DME header has a nice collector design that no other header has. In fact, I think it is an excellent header. Not to say DC is not, but DME does make a fine product.

same here with the rust spots. i got it jet-hot coated to fix that. my car dynoed at 162.9 whp and 167.5 wtq. dc gives you a higher mid to higher range torque.

Some dude told me he installed this OEM header and he had the same problem but after time passed it dissappeared.
