because he didnt reset the ecu...he should have disconnected the battery. any mod will do that.

 

Well on the website it says it's a "Pre-Cat" not a real catalytic converter, and you can always just do the spark plug anti fouler trick to get rid of the CEL!!

About the lack of difference in exhaust tone: Doesn't that tell you it's not flowing that much better than stock?????

 

mine finally arrived today! :D took longer than i expected. anyways, i'll will be installing it tommorow. i hope all goes well.

 

i want i want!

 

do you sacrifice low end power for high end power after you install a header?

 

let us know if you get a CEL

 

Alright guyz and galz...The damn CEL came back on after 15.2 miles!!! I think I'll do that "trick" to default the sensor. The power is noticable like I said and there are dyno sheets for you dyno freaks about hp and torque gains. Now that the headers are breaking in I do notice a change in the TRD Exahust tone. It's doesn't sound horrible and definatley not as BAD as the DC Sport headers. You can definatley tell there is more exhause flow. Everyone else who are getting these headers, please let the rest of us know how it sounds with your exhaust set-up.

 

Installation was a breeze....about 15 min.

 

that's a really nice deal. is it $246 shipped?

 

I realy think this is going to be my next mod, but I'll wait a bit to see how every thing goes with others.

 

Get the dc, more power gains!

 

the dc header only get's 2whp more and the same ammount of torque.

i'd rather have this header with no CEL.

 

lol have you read the whole thread? People ARE getting the CEL with this header! It's a Pre-Cat, not a fully fledged catalytic converter! I'll enjoy my DC Sports Header, thankyou very much!

 

do you have a CEL with the dc headers? and does it come with a test pipe?
like in the pic here?

Nah it's nothing like that one, shorter, but anyways, I don't have the CEL because I applied the spark plug anti fouler technique... you can find lots about this method if you search. I believe they have a picture of the actual header on www.mcgeorgeparts.com ....that's where I bought my header from!

 

I hope you enjoy it so much when it starts rusting in a few months:

this header is also cheaper then the DC header.

 

As you might have noticed, I was the second to post on that topic...and I doubt mine will start rusting unless the ceramic coating was rubbed off when I installed it

 

AWARE....don't buy anything from TC Tunerz. They never write back or call me!!! Especially about the CEL with the Megan Racing headers.

 

Hey English, I heard the dc sport headers make the exhaust system sound like crap though...Granted my Megan Racing Headers changed the sound of my exhaust a little, it doesn't sound as bad as the DC Sports.

 

Since I have the stock exhaust, I wouldn't say it sounds like crap, just a little bit strange, like there's alot of air flowing out, but quiet....I guess you'd have to hear it in person, but I like the fact that there's alot more power, about the cel, you're going to get that with anything that doesn't clean the air as good as the stock cat does, so just do the spark plug anti fouler trick!!!!!
