I want a good set if headers for my car but haven't been able to find ones that have the kind of performance improvement I want. Any ideas? I'm looking for a good hp gain since the f23 doesn't really have a lot to it

Expect a noticeable difference, but not a huge improvement in terms of HP. I am going to say that most guys out there that wanted to have a "brand" backing their header decided to go with DC sports, for those that cared for the price, went with a header off ebay.

 

Thanks man, I've actually looked at both but haven't made up my mind yet.

 

I ran Megan in mine, with no problems. Take a look at them.

 

Thanks, I think I might go with megan racing. Half as much as the DC an probably jus as good

 

That's what i was telling you, if you wanted the "brand", you'd go with DC... and if you want something BALLER, you'd go with greddy... now, if you just want a descent some' some'... that's fine, thing is... smaller brands do not carry the carb sticker.

 

Appreciate the input. I kinda get it now. U get wat u pay for. I think I may save up an get wat will be best in the long run.

 

I ran Megan on my F22B1. I can tell more power on the topend.

 

Judging from your posts and what not, you honestly are not going to need anything more than a DC Sports or even DC Sport replica header.

You're not going to get any real gains from just a header on the F series. And if you have supporting mods to warrant a good header then you can spend money later on. I spent $30 on a DC Sport replica for my H22 swap and hadn't had a single issue with it.

 

^ Werd.

I got an obx header for my 97 CL and have had no issues without, didn't really experience gains, but it looks better

 

Got some mint DC ceramic headers that I think will fit the F23 forsale, just pm me.

 

I had an OBX stainless steel header on my car and it was the biggest POS. That thing warped on me within a year where the two pieces meet and kept blowing gaskets.

eBay headers are hit or miss.

Many seem to have no problem w/ Megan headers.

Also, be sure to wipe off any fingerprints before you start it the 1st time, otherwise they will be there forever.

 

random question without wanting to threadjack because I too am trying to buy some headers...
I can get a great deal on a used DC header (less than half new price).. its in mint condition apart from a 3" crack on the piece where the 2 and 3 cyl exhaust tubes are on the flange.. Its the stainless model, not ceramic.
Are these things easy to fix by welding or will it still affect performance post-weld..

I considered megan as well, but I prefer DC, even if I have to go used to afford it

 

It's a hard decision. I mean it would take only a few weeks to save up for dc headers but with what I could save with megans I could get an intake or sumthin else.......damn I suck at decision making

 

i had a problem with the flex pipe on both obx and megan racing headers on my f23a1.

 

screw it get a bisi hahahahaahahahaaa
