Install wasn't too hard. Having a mirror so you can see the header bolts helps, getting the two spring bolts back on and off is REALLY hard. Youll need lots of extensions, some WD40 is helpful.

car doesn't sound any different.

both headers weigh 6 lbs, but you don't put the heatshield back on so maybe you save like 1 pound with the DC header.

wow nice!

scionracerxb

it doesn't sound any different? do you have a stock exhaust or aftermarket? I would think it would make a lil difference. Does it feel like it has more power?

BTW THIS IS MY 1000th post!!! WOOOOHOOO i made it to the BIG TIME!

jackmott

stock exauhst otherwise.

the AEM intake made the car sound much different.
the header did not, sounds the same.


feel more power? maybe, maybe not.

I don't trust my butt to sense tiny horsepower differences.
mebe when I get back to TWS again I can see if I hit a higher top speed on the main straight =)

im getting a header before i get an intake. they cost about the same, but headers make more power. it just seems sensable to me to do it in this order. does that make sense?

scionracerxb

thats what i thought. Wait till you get an exhaust on that bad boy, then you'll reall hear and feel the difference!

jackmott

ive yet to see a dyno test of any header, so I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it will add more power than an intake.


as for changing the rest of my exauhst, I don't plan too. I take my muffler off entirely for racing, and I prefer to have it quiet stock.

Why do the exhaust and collector holes look so much smaller than the stock unit. Yet the pipes are bigger???

jackmott

turn the brightness up and look closer.

the stock manifold is two parts, the flat metal part has huge holes, but the actual pipes are much smaller, you can make it out in the pictures just barely.

Scionic

so what does the butt dyno say jack?

rampagesd

is it me or does the stock ports look larger?

Munch

That's what I said.

jackmott

try reading the thread guys!!

the stock ports are not larger. READ up above..

heres some help, the red lines shows the size of the ports, and ive brightened it for you

i doubt you'll get more than 4-5 hp increase, but i would just get it for the looks

jackmott

if I got 4hp, I would be thrilled

so did you need to buy a new gasket or did it come with one or did you just use your old one?

proto_k7

I have a set of DC's I need to install on my whip, how long did it take you Jack?

jackmott

I just reused the old one, so far no problems.

Install took like 3 hours.

Its really pretty easy if you have the extensions youll need.

getting the spring bolts back in is super hard though.

tbblizzard

i just ordered a gasket from toyota, better safe than sorry later on. besides, only 27 bucks and it'll probably save me from some headaches later on.

kdanie

$27??? I paid $19 and change at my local dealer... and I thought that was too much for what it is. I guess some dealers gouge their customers!!! Damn poor way to do business....
