There are lots of people (Myself included) that had a header/intake without a catback. I've got catback now, but before i got it i just had my header and intake, its totally okay. _____________________________ (in reply to phan10m) Post #: 12

But w/e, back on topic now _____________________________ (in reply to phan10m) Post #: 14

I don't remember where i read it, but i read taht it turns that color due to the oils in your hands and once the metal heats up, the oil is sealed in.  Maybe if you use gloves or something, it might not do it as much or not at all. _____________________________ Surf Wagon1994: might be getting a toy :D Forty4U2BNVS: I've been known to toot a pipe or two (in reply to rice99ex) Post #: 17

RE: Megan Racing 4-2-1 Header - 7/30/2007 12:08:18 AM    ltkenbo Posts: 653 Joined: 10/31/2006 Status: offline It's not just that, it also has to do with oxidations. The exposed surface of a lot of metals tends to bond with oxygen (but with most that do it's usually pretty slow, you know how like penny's turn dark after a while) but heat (energy) quickens the reaction. This is why in welding (lots of heat) they have to use some type of intert (not reactive) gas or flux to keep the metal from oxidizing (weakens welds). Rust is another example of oxidation. But seriously, why are these headers technically street illegal? < Message edited by ltkenbo -- 7/30/2007 12:10:10 AM > _____________________________ (in reply to GReddy_Civic) Post #: 18

Will I see less HP gains? Or is the price difference just based on the names? Basically what I want to know is; Would I be better off just saving some more money an going with DC, or is it not a big enough of a difference thats worth the extra money for. _____________________________ *Under Construction* Black 1997 Honda civic DX American Performance short shifter Magnaflow exhaust system & Magnaflow catylatic converter AEM cold air intake Pilot blue underbody neons Blue painted interior Unothodox Racing Underdrive pul (in reply to ltkenbo) Post #: 20
