Default Installing DC headers

I ordered some ceramic dc race headers.. I was wondering if its just a bolt on install that i could do myself or do they have to wield it cause it removes the cat? thanks and is there a installation guide somewhere?

na the dc race headers remove your oem cat. just take out your old headers and cat and you should be good. dont forget to get a defouler so you dont get an MIL and you might need a o2 sensor extension.

bolt on. it is a little difficult to do in your driveway if you cant lift the car up pretty high up. it has to be put in from the bottom. its not that bad but kinda time consuming. just make sure to get the type-s header and not a base header because they are different lengths. also get a 02 sensor extension as you will need one.

Also might want to romove the brackets for the sway bar so you can move it back and outta the way when you slide the header up

Yup, any defouler. Mine was like $6 at AutoZone. You'll probably want to drop the sway bar to fit the header up in there better. Spray the bracket bolts/endlinks a day or two before the install.

hit up the search tab at clubrsx and type in o2 sensor extension. it will show you whats for sale, where to buy, or how to make one yourself.

and no you cannot get this at your local autozone.
