Ok, so i just went underneath my car to change the oil ad i noticed my dc header is dented really really bad (like v shaped), so i was wondering if i should put back on my oem manifold and would this take away any performance?

also I was thinking of running a straight pipe from the manifold all the way back into a stock rsx type s muffler. is this a good setup?

Take pictures, let us see how bad the dent is. But if it's as bad as you say, you're probably losing some power with a dent. I don't know if going back to OEM would be better. So take pics.

 

here it is

 

Did you nail a speed bump or something? I would say that the flow of that header is probably compromised a bit.

 

Those are some big dents , you are probably losing alittle bit of power but i'm pretty sure it would be better than stock most likely.

 

same happened to me, probably loosing a little power

 

Those dents aren't that bad, you would still have more power with the dent tha stock, so yea, i think u should stay with the DC

i agree, what are loosing half a horse power? who cares, keep it on

 

looks like you need a new oil pan gasket as well

 

well tomorrow im pulling down the oil pan to change it, so i just want to know if i should change to the stock manifold on one time, guess i'll keep my dc. btw does the 4-2-1 header have more ground clearance?

while your at it, get the oil pann tapped for a oil return then you wont have to worry about that header anymore and just get a dp. dp= turbo!!!!

 

i took off my turbo, im goin all motor now
