the header didn't show up yesterday, most likely it'll come in today.

the O2 sensor on the s-pipe came right off for me.

 

Awesome thanks for the quick reply guys

 

did any one use the coupon yet?

 

I wonder if these headers will work with the supercharged engine :D?

Really the megan headers sound a lot better in quality than the DC. The bad reviews about the DC headers and the exhaust note it creates makes me uneasy, which is why I am gravitating toward megan since it doesn't alter the exhaust tone in such a negative manner.

 

Actually, they do. They sound almost identical to the DC's, even with the highflow precat built into it. *sighs*

I'll probably swap them out and put the stock ones back on. I can't stand the noise.

 

from what I understand, if you let the megan headers break in, the DC sport header annoyingness goes away. Meanwhile, the DC sport headers just keep the same raspyness even after being broken in.

 

According to ScionDad the raspiness is still there, just at a lower tone. I dunno, I could use the extra cash so I'll just sell the headers and put the stock ones back on for now.

 

CAN SOMEONE WHO HAS THESE INSTALLED AND BROKEN IN PLEASE CLARIFY THESE ISSUES!

 

Just PM ScionDad. He's already broken them in and can give you a better description.

 

I put this header on my car yesterday, I was kind of shocked how they didn't include any bolts at all. The bolts on the brackets are connected to the stock header so you have to find & purchase your own bolts.

Also, when I bolted the megan header to the S-Pipe I noticed that it didn't seem completely air tight. Everything did line up, and the bolts did turn until they were very tight.

I had my friend go inside the car and rev it up a few times and I noticed that I felt a small ammount of air come out where the header connected to the s-pipe. I was wondering if this is normal or not?

I really don't see any other possible way to connect the header to the s-pipe because the holes & bolts line up perfectly.

Any advise would be great.

 

new gasket and tighten the bolts you should be good 2 go!

 

You have to be careful when you tighten down the header flange to S pipe that the bolts with the springs actually go in right. If the springs don't compress, then the tapered bolt is not seated right. Also the obvious exhaust gasket everyone is talking about (doughnut looking thing to S pipe).

The header will change sound after a month or so (a few 1000 miles).

I changed out the TRD exhaust for the original stock last night and the sound lowered alot. I'll drive it around for a while and see how it sounds.

 

I got the problems fixed with the exhaust leaking. I forgot the gasket by mistake.

I have the spark plug anti-fouler's installed correcltly and still got the CEL.
