Seriously as easy to install as the strut bar. You don't need a lift, but it helps on the bolts at the collector.

 

SWEET!!

 

awesome! So how does it feel??

 

not carb leagal, right?

 

That looks nice. Reminds me of my old Neon :D .

 

nice!

 

that's the DC header? i thought the one DC made for scions are 4-2-1. the one in the pic looks like a 4-1

 

Nobody makes a 4-2-1 header for a Scion yet, it would require moving the Cat further under the car to make room.

SocalbBox, did you happen to measure the exhaust port dia.?

ken

 

oooh no I didn't. I could measure the stock exhaust manifold.

 

Looks Nice installed!

 

SoCalBox, Thanks but not necessary, I know the stock header dia. The problem is all the aftermarket header builders used a gasket as a template (without measuring the port) to make the flange and the gasket has a 1 5/8" hole so they build their headers with 1 5/8" primary tubes-that is huge for this little engine.

I have a gasket so I guess I'll have to pop my stock header off and measure the port.

Wait a second i thought the DC header wasn't going to be out for a while because of the AEM buy out where did you get it?

 

sooooooo....when can we expect a dyno of the new header? :D I wanna see how this thing performs!

 

This makes it so that now we can have someone with lots-o-cash upgrade the entire airpump part of the motor, from intake to tip. I'd like to see the numbers on that.. you think it would reach 115hp? maybe 100+ at the wheels? Naw, me either. You know though, it wasn't long ago that production 4cly bigger than this could only dream of making 100+ hp.. so it's not THAT bad. My 87 nova (corolla) was 1.8l.. or was it 1.6? anyway, 74bhp or was it 84? Anyway, I remember this... 42mpg!! The scion feels fast compared to that and my 95 contour.

I found my answer from above, according to some website this thing is carb legal.

 

It IS CARB legal. I saw it at Exposed and it had the number on the header flange.

 

Whats the answer CARB or not!

 

the motors horsepower per liter is pretty weak given its small size. I imagine this is because the ports and cam are optimized for gas mileage and decent low rpm power.

I bet some head porting and a big cam could work wonders.

 

it should make over 100 at the wheels.

Remember your 87 mobile wasn't FI.

 

hell Stylis was making 100+ to the wheels with a cold air intake and his custom manifold back exhaust back at the Dyno Day at ModaCar in December... so with this thing and a proper intake and exhaust I would hope you can get more than 105, crossing my fingers..

 

it's 50 states legal
