Hey guys, just got and installed my dc header tonight. Took it out for a test drive, and I gained some hardly noticable power. However, since my car is completely stock other than that, I'm sure that benefits of the header are partly masked by the puny exhaust pipe. Do you think part of the benefit of the header is nullified by the stock exhuast?

 

Ya for sure, and the stock intake box that you still have on there.

 

yea just a header, you won't feel much. get a new intake and catback exhaust and you will feel a bit more. with a catback tho, if you're staying N/A then go with like a 2.25" piping or turbo 2.5-3" piping. good luck.

 

thanks, yeah ill be getting a greddy evo 2 as soon as i get the cash, i wanted to get it first, but since my exhaust manifold was already cracked, figured thats what i should do first

 

snag an intake too and put them on at the same time so you can feel a better difference.

 

^^ haha trick my brain into feeling something? well, since i'm still in high school, and I'm probably going to get a full ride to A&M or UT, I'm kinda spending my money as i get it. I dont know if i can wait until i have enough money for both to buy the evo

 

hey does anyone know what size outlet the dc headers have to the actual exhaust pipe?

 

i'm not sure, but i know it attaches to my stock cat, so whatever diameter that is.
