Ok i bought my ep and it had the dc shorty headers... so i was looking on EBAY!! and seen that they have those Resonator Test Pipe....

Now wat would u guys do.... take the shorty out and get the dc race header... or just get the Resonator Test Pipe

im leaning towards the test pipe....

Terry.Ho

my vote goes on the DCRH.

If you are looking for more power then go with the race header but since your in kali like me then I would becareful and probably go with the short and test pipe if cops are !@#$% in your area...Other than that you can also check with ephatch.com among the searches

ephatch.com, awesome place, i have a DCRH and i love it, but we dont get tested for smog here yet. that may be a factor for you.

DiMpL3s

im not to sure...

still ok if u look at the DcRh its a 4-2-1 header... and im thinking that wouldn't with the dc shorty headers with the straight pipe right from the header would make better flow??? i would think since its like its more like a 4-1 setup wiith nothing but pipe right from the shorty header...

i know alot of people might say go for the DcRh because its a Brand name part and somtimes people get in there heads (including my self at some times) that the more money u spend the faster ull go....

anyone got anymore input on this??

I have a DC Sports 4-1 Shorty w/ Megan Racing Test Pipe & Greddy SP2 Catback.


I was using the stock cat for while. Putting the test pipe on was one of the biggest improvements i've felt. The power band at higher RPM's was alot harder.. ALOT.

I say go for the shorty and the test pipe. Just my opinion, but I never owned a race header either so.

I was asking the same questions to. I just said F it and I ordered it and I don't regret it at all.

DiMpL3s

yeah im glad to hear that u like it... i just ordered it to (i won the bid)

i hope to see feel and hear the diffrence...

BUMP FOR MORE INPUT!!!!!!

yeah its illegal... but i mean who will know.. now if ur car is to damn load then thats one thing.. but its not like ur gonna be driven, get pulled over by a cop and hes gonna say hey u have a test pipe on this car.... they don't know ****... only wat they can see..

so yeah illegal.. but if u put the cat back on to smog when its time and its passes... whos to say anything to u....

ive had the dcrh on both of my type s's and love em, really makes a difference

bryce-o

the race header is a lot better. the length and diameter of the primaries are optimized for more hp. the shorty header has proven to add only a small increase in power, if any. the addition of a test pipe will add more power, but the combination will not yield as much whp as the dcrh.

The shorty with test pipe is a good setup. It has just as much in gains as the RH without the need to add torque dampers or even ESMMIs (even though they are a great improvement.)

this 4-1 setup will not flow as much as a 4-2-1 setup. if you look at all RH, even the high end ones, they all use 4-2-1 setup. why? think about it this way...air is immediately being forced from 4 pipes down to 1 while on the 4-2-1 setup the air is gradually coming down to 1. less obstruction, more flow

well just put in my pipe and i must say... i got better sound.. and it feels like theres more of a pull at higher rpm's but im not impressed.... im probably gonna sell the setup and save for the race header...

any input??

</TD></TR></TABLE>yeah, rh &gt; shorty testpipe combo when it comes to power
i noticed a huge difference in the high-end when the rh was added on
