I just got an HKS hi power exhaust but it sounds like the car is running only on a muffler.My car is running with a fujita short ram intake. My question is should I get short or race headers. I kind of dont want to go without the cat but Im looking for performance and sound. What should I do??

 

well if u dont live in cali, and dont have strict smog emissions then i would def go for the race header, it will make ur exhaust sound so much better!

 

race and get a real one dc is garbage,..get a hytec, buddy club, toda...P.S. you goot pay to play haha

 

race header! buddy club/ toda

 

I have the buddy club race header. To me it feels like i lost some top end but the mid range is much stronger. It also feels like its running a little rich, (when i shift the exhaust pops/ gargles) i think thats because the O2 senors had to be moved back further and dont have a cat to read from. But thats just speculation. All in all i like the header A LOT!

 

Definitely go race header... there is nothing wrong with DC, many people run that header and have tons of success without breaking their wallet.

Let me know if you need pricing.

 

just expect your car to be super loud once u put the racepipes on. also it will be pretty smelly too.

 

get the ITR header, it has a cat and it frees it up a good bit. I just installed mine a few weeks ago. I love it! gains were good, plus its still legal b/c of the cat. No CEL.

 

I'm not sure why there is a lot of bashing towards the DC Race Header. If your trying to stay within a budget, DC Sports is the way to go. I personally would get the Buddy Club if I wanted the most power out of a RH. Please do not get a Shorty. If you are after power, than stay away from Shorties. They will do minimal to no gains compared to a stock header for the DC5. Also, keeping that SRI will deter you from feeling efficient power throughout your powerband. I would highly suggest a CAI if you can. GL with your decisions.

 

RACE HEADER

 

race header, toda/buddy club/strupp

 

go with a race header if u whant power trust me the k's respond to more airflow im running a a dc shorty for now(i got 4 da free) just bought my dc5 and didint feel much of a diff, im going with the bcrh later. RACEheader ftw.

 

race header. Buddy Club

 

go with a race header....SSR headers are sick!! i like them over toda buddyclub and pretty much all the others. just my two cents.....

 

what gains can you get with jrrh ?for ep3?

 

race header, all the way, i promise u, u wont be dissappointed

 

Race Header!

The ITR header is nice however you will make much more power with a Race header.

I used the DC SS race header on my K20 motor before. The DC header is a solid header for the price. If you can afford better then go for it!

 

For performance your going to have to go with the race header. But then you have to deal with the fumes and no cat.
