Will let you know about performance gains and sound. Will also make more pics & a video.

















Will keep you guys posted on this whole thing. More to come

 

looks good, how much did it cost you?

 

370 with shipping and handling.

What do you have on your car now? Stock header I am guessing. Before & after dyno would be cool

 

Don't have the cash for dyno. Saving up for SEMA that im going to with my club. But the car has....

AEM SRI, AEM Pulleys, Apexi WS2, Buddy Club Grnd kit & vltg stab, MSD Spark plug wires & Iradium spark plugs. By the way iradiums were worth every penny.

EDIT: My bad, i miss understood your ?ion, yeah it's stock header

 

I am looking to buy a GREDDY header for my teg in a month or so too... keep me posted.. on horse power gain & fitment stuff...

 

Good and Bad news.

Good news: The car sounds allot meaner but could sound even better if it wasnt for the bad news. From 3K and above you will notice that your RPM will come up much smoother and the fun part is once you are couple 100rpm before VTEC and as it hits, it hits incredibly loud and now I can rev all the way past 7 to 8 and enjoy every bit of it where prior to my mods the car would bog and not pull after about 7k. ITS INSANELY loud in vtec and you can hear switch over much better. The pull IS harder and you come up to a 100 mark allot faster, the car deffenetly breaths better.

on the other hand the....

Bad News: The car WHINES*Exactly like a superchargers do* when you rev it, same sound as it had before... I had a leak. Bought a new header with flexpipe for a reason. TO FIX THAT ISSUE. Deffenetly a leak. Also the car will make a HISSS HISSS HISS noise very loud if say the car is not on the flat ground and some how under an angle... im pretty sure that could be also a leak, that hiss hiss hiss speeds up with the RPM. Man O Man this is so ennoying.

EDIT: Actually its more of a TICK TICK TICK noise.
SO LOUD tho, never had that before. I checked, clearance is fine and everything, coming from the drivers side.

check all of your flanges to make sure they are tight and the gaskets are lined up, check the head flange also...

 

It sounds alot like you have a bad gasket or an exhaust leak.

 

argh. yeah i deffenetly have to do that. But i cant believe people cant do their job well. I wish i had the space and equipment to do it myself


After driving around for almost 2hours. YEAH deffenetly an exhaust leak. it farts under full acceleration @ low RPMS. Say im @ 1.5k in 4th and gun it, 1.5 to 3 its doing the buzzzzzzzz

EDIT: Could it be the cat? Anyone had problem like that? hmmm

I know this is a question that's been covered before, but I can't find the answer right now.

Since you have the header, can you measure the pipe outside diameters on the primaries and secodaries. I would appreciate it, and it would help me decide between a DC and the Greddy.

Thanks.

 

Looks good, too bad they don't make one for the 5th gen SH.

 

should have cut the collector off and put a bigger one on.
