DC Race header Question on sound???????

mikef1182 · 07-16-2006, 05:22 PM

For those of you who have the race header how is the in car sound? I have a 4-1 jdm header and test pipe on my Integra and it is a little raspy for my taste. Is the DCRH like that as well? I love the tone of the car stock and would hate to F'it up.

I got the DC race header and SS exaust and its great. Very loud when you are into the gas and not bad if you shift under 4k for normal driving. + the gains in the 4500 - 6000rpm were worth the $$.

I was going to eun the header with the stock exhaust to try and minimize the noise. Is most of the sound coming from the exhaust oir from the test piope area of the header? I know on my Integra the test pipe area is very raspy and the exhaust is nice and quiet.

Can you use an extra resonator somewhere in the exhaust path to quiet the sound a bit? Just a thought...
