im getting dc 4-2-1 1 piece header for my d15b7 eg hatchback and was wondering if the oem gaskets will fit? also will i still be able to use the heat shield? i have heard that heat wrapping the headers are very bad but how bad is the temp without it?

my old D series only had one header... now whats going on here...?

and why are you spending money on your D15b7???

anyways yes to the gasket, and no to the heat shield...temp is not that bad.. or at least i have never had a prob with paint fading, bubbling up, parts melting.. ect...

 

its HEADER not HEaders :]

word

but as said above your oem gasket will fit but your heat shield will not, and it doesnt really matter because 1.) a d15b doesnt get THAT hot and 2.) dc sports are street legal and there is no need to hide them.

thanks for all the help! does anyone know of installation write ups off hand? i have searched but found little

doh &gt;_&lt; haha good stuff

 

edit: yea use that thread i was typing up the steps

 

haha thanks for trying

 

ok one more question the dc header is ceramic coated does it still need to be heat wrapped?

 

no

 

i have a header and they're not ceramic-coated or wrapped. don't worry about it, it won't be a problem.

OMG OUR CARS ONLY HAVE ONE!! ITS A HEADER!!! NOT HEADERS!!!!!

 

will i need to buy new bolts or can i reuse them? i am only getting a new exaust manifold gasket do i need to buy more things?

 

there should be no bolts for the header.. there are studs in the head and then nuts that thread on the studs that hold the header to the head. you can reuse both the studs and nuts. just slap a new gasket on and torque the header down.

 

thanks goooood stuff

 

yeah what ^^ he said unless the nuts are ****. Then buy new ones 4 real cheap

 

thanks for all the help the header feels hella nice now all i need is an exhaust
