Hey!

quick question.

I'm wraping my headers with insulator wrap... and them spraying them with protective spary..

Q: should i wrap them before i install or after they are bolted up? from experience?

Thanks!

A question to you guys who have had their DCRH for a while. Have you had any problems with it relating to the flex pipe? I am debating between the Vibrant and the DC. I have heard some negative things about the flex pipe really rusting out and falling apart fairly quickly.

FG2uner · 06-24-2008, 12:37 PM

suscribed

so do i need one or 2 defoulers? i got one i guess it screws in after the little metal braid part but does the o2 sensor screw straight to the header in the front hole?

***sdblurjdmsquad*** · 06-26-2008, 12:01 PM

sick doin this tomorrow.. hope this helps thanks

One defouler located in the rear of the header. The front one screws straight into the header.

FG2uner · 06-26-2008, 12:18 PM

gotcha. doin it tomorrow! cant wait!

***Zeuceone*** · 06-28-2008, 12:29 PM

bump .

20civic07 · 06-28-2008, 09:03 PM

did anyone disconnect the harness from the catalytic converter's o2 sensor? or did you guys just unbolt the o2 sensor from the cat?

***Zeuceone*** · 06-28-2008, 09:04 PM

i just unbolted it. didnt know you can disconnect it.

wise choice, especially if it's a dcrh. will rot pretty fast cuz it's only ceramic coated.

nope, you're good. there's nowhere to bolt it on the header.

yes. i took mine off yesterday cuz the flex pipe broke. even though i paid 200 for it, still not worth it cuz it only lasted me a year/15k mi. i will never buy anything but a stainless header from now on.

FG2uner · 07-01-2008, 08:09 PM

putting my dcrh in friday! cant wait. im mechanically inclined but im nervous about this one lol. should sound nice paired with my dc cat back! anyone else have the header and exhaust combo??

asdf · 07-01-2008, 10:55 PM
