really you cant feel that? intake and exhaust was like eh, cant feel that...but the header for sure i could feel. First time i gave it the gas it was very noticeable. i miss n/a drivability

asianskater91 · 10-18-2009, 02:20 PM

well i kinna can...i pull way harder...my buddy has a gsr and he has i/h/e and before i jus had full catback and cold air and now with this i jus leave him on a 60 roll...but the speed limit is 70 so we dont race...jus up to the speed limit lmfao

so i guess it did help and for 300 with defouler shipped wasnt bad

i got a strup header btw

colomstyle · 11-04-2009, 11:30 PM

what do i used to take out the o2 sensor

asianskater91 · 11-04-2009, 11:50 PM

a adjustable wrench! there is also a tool specially made for o2 sensors but i jus used what i said

and also one of them jus clip off too

colomstyle · 11-05-2009, 10:38 AM

yeaaa i was gonna install mines today but its rainning all day from the looks of it

colomstyle · 11-06-2009, 03:18 AM

ok i put the headers on now and my car feels slower and its making this rattling noise help plz

asianskater91 · 11-06-2009, 11:02 AM

hah mine felt slower too but its jus your mind i promise lol

for the rattle check your 02 sensor the one that is in the defouler...
mine was rattling real bad tooooo until yesterday...

injentech · 11-06-2009, 10:10 PM

anyone ever hear of headers consuming more gas?i dont believe it, i was about to switch back to stock, but now rethinking of how the intake headers exhaust works it doesnt make sense, but 2 people have said this (including the service advisor at my dealership) any info on this?

civicbeast · 11-08-2009, 02:02 AM

i need help. i bought the DCRH used, and it didnt come with bolts or gaskets. can i just reuse the stock ones?

Yes it uses more gas because having a less restrictive exhaust alows more air to be sucked in & more air equals more fuel being burned

no you cant. well the gasket, use the stock one from the engine block, the cheap flimsy metal one. as far as bolts..... go to home depot or somewhere. i went to true value, they are more of a family store with less hassle.
your in luck buddy cuz i just went yesterday because one bolt came off, the size is 10 by 1.25 thats for the bolt, the nut is 1.25 but dont know the first number. they look like this: the bolt was 1.75

thank you so much yesterday i went back to stock, surprisingly enough it took me less than 3 hrs. i had to go to visit my neighbor for a vice grip for the 02 sensors.

my car sounds deeper, and i can soooo tell the restrectiveness of the cat.

so which is the one i need to buy? the 1.25 or 1.75? thanks man!

Poweraide · 11-08-2009, 05:02 PM

you only need 1.5 or 1.75. Length wont matter if they are long. Be sure to get lock washers also.
