Installed my Headers
Finally! I got the chance to install my DC headers. Let me know what you guys think.
http://a727.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...58eb7db126.jpg Well this is the pic of the stock header and the DC headers. Haven't got the chance to take new pics of the DC in my car. But u get the picture. lol :D |
RE: Installed my Headers
Very nice. How long did it take you to install the header?
When I installed mine it took like 4 or 5 hrs because of damn bolts, but eventually got it all perfect and such. Also, what engine did you put the header on? Yeah, when you get a chance you should def. take a pic of the engine bay. |
RE: Installed my Headers
Thanks man. Yeah it took about 4-5hrs for me as well, just cuz I was on the Clock and also working on other ppls car. So every chance that I get I would go and work on it. lol, so ya. I mean some of the bolts were a pain to take off lol, I broke an exhaust bolt with the spring. So I had to order a new set, but it's all good I got to use the shop tools. lol
Yeah I work at Big O so that really helps a lot. The headers I put in are for my D16Y8. Yeah SOHC, but I can feel the difference which is awesome. But thanks man. for replyin.:) |
RE: Installed my Headers
Nice, how much gain does the header give?
I've also wanted to install headers on my y8, but i've never really understood why headers are needed. Can someone explain the pros and cons ofinstalling a header on your car? |

Can someone explain the pros and cons ofinstalling a header on your car? P.S. on a V engine, you have headers (one off each side) on an inline four (most of them) you have A header. |
RE: Installed my Headers
Yeah it helps with the headers, plus I did the full catback exhaust.

RE: Installed my Headers
Just better exhaust flow Cain. Just like a catback exhaust, better flow = more power, and if you have a real nice catback exhaust without a header, the ehxuast is still just as resticted since it goes through the header first. Mine changed the sound of my exhaust a little bit too, and they look real nice in the engine bay :)can't really think of any cons either
and yea, on a Civic, its HEADER, not HEADERS |
RE: Installed my Headers
you guys have been great in assisting me on this thread. =)
I always thought there were cons to adding a header to your civic. Bunch of ppl used to tell me it will mess up your engine and all that stuff... but now, i guess i will look for some n install them when i can. Thank you, all of you. |
RE: Installed my Headers
Nice! U should let us know when ur going to get them and installing them. Oh here's a tip try not to break an Exhaust bolt. lol yeah, I know I did. lol
