Upgrade your engine mounts, get ESMMs, or a torque damper or a combination.

i got a 06 type s is it a pain to change the mounts or no ?

 

You have to drop the sub frame to get to them. Many have done them in their driveway. Others, like me, take them to a reputable shop with decent rates.

 

yah i dont no if i wanna go though all that i might just have to put up with it

 

If you don't fix the problem with one or more of the above, you will break the header. then you will have to buy another. You need to fix it soon.

 

yep, gotta upgrade the mounts
should of been installed at the time the header was being installed

 

yah i wish i kinda would have known earlyer but o well thanks guys for the help!

 

hmm so lets say on an ep3.. can u just install ingalls stiffy instead of esmm???
or do u need to esmm

 

esmm isn't the only option
you can replace the entire mounts and/or get a torque damper

esmm are the cheapest yet still very effective
i'm sure they are the most popular too

 

ya well it dont really matter any way i gotta take it back to the dealer to get new 2nd and 3rd gear syncros so i gotta take the header back off now cause i dont think they will cover it with a header on

It would definitely give them an excuse to deny the warranty claim. Dealerships love that.

You dont have to drop the sub frame to install them. With the stock header, all you have to do is unbolt the 2nd part of the exhaust manifold and you can slide the rear mount in and out. If you already have the dcrh on then you might have to remove it if you dont want to drop the subframe.

BLAH! ..all good suggestions.

i have DCRH same **** happend to me. i asked the same questions got answers that werent correct.

is your o2 simulator a J shaped or a I shaped? meaning the bent one or the one that pops straight out?

i had the one that pops straight out and everytime i reversed it hit the top. it led to..my o2 wires getting cut from banging too much. replace the o2 simulator with a j shaped one .i think they go for like 15-20 bucks.

yah mine went straight in but i got the defoulers on mine so i dk it that would matter any but it does bang almost every time i go in reverse

 

DC HEADERS SUCK!!! WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME

 

BLEH all wrong.

i have a dc race header. defouler hitting top when reversing.


...it banged so much my o2 sensor wire cut..hHHhahaha..just get a j-shaped defouler, good to go

 

Do you think the dealership would put in aftermarket mounts for my 2005 Type S ???

 

the metal to metal banging noise is one of the cylinders on the header hitting a metal hanger looking thing on the car, wrap that hanger type thing with a sock or something... also, u need esmm or motor mounts

 

yah i installed the new mounts now i dont have that banging every time i go in reverse or down shift def need mounts to go along with the dc race header other then that i def think its the best bang for the buck !!!
