DO it! I just picked up a DCRH and am running it with the stock exhaust. I highly recommend

it. The car sounds more aggressive but not to loud. I was hesitant running the RH with

stock exhaust but i am glad i did it. Overall if you don't want a loud car, but want a little hp

increase do this mod. Totally worth it.

 

we all know that. lol

 

Word! Just reminding you guys. haha! This post might help people search better. IDK, im just stoked to finally be running a header.

 

i knew you was going to say "DO IT!"

 

you shoulda hit me up for the dcrh. im selling one because i have the skunk2 one now.

 

I got a damn good deal. A shipping company down here in San Diego had a brand new 06 ceramic DCRH for $200.00 I guess somebody couldnt afford to pay the shipping or whatever and they have been holding onto it for awhile now. I chose to go with the DCRH because i did some of the beta testing for COBB and guys running intake header and exhaust were dynoing around 200hp. Best $200 ive ever spent.

How much noticeable difference is the Sk2 header? That is a nice header!

 

Is it in the FS section? You have a link to it?

 

If you care to keep your stock exhaust intact, for possible reinstall in the future, don't run a race header through it for too long.

 

Why? What happens?

 

Supposedly becomes "raspy" over time, but if that happens you can upgrade, or just buy a used axelback. They are cheap on the FS sections.

 

i was running my rh wit stock exhaust for awhile and it wasnt raspy

 

uhmm yea lol on the first page. its sold already. im shipping it once i get off work in 3 hours

 

What sort of power gains do you see, just doing a header?

 

^depends on the brand.

 

Well yeah that makes sense, I'm a n00b obviously to Honda's but NOT to cars...just trying to gather info/opinions before I make my next vehicle purchase.

 

ok well skunk2 is claiming the most hp gains so far.

 

I'll have to go digging but I'm pretty sure Hytech has posted the highest dyno numbers so far, granted you have to pay 500 extra bucks and wait 6 months to get it.

 

Definetly worth it bro. Better throttle response and it sounds tight! Im also running COBB Ap and K&N sri so that makes a difference.

^ Sounds good bro! What is your mod list again? Sk2 header and what else?

 

injen sri, skunk2 header, RRC intake manifold, stock cat-back exhaust.

 

Is the sound obtrusive on the highway or is it subdued when cruising at 70 to 80mph?

 

it sounds stock when you drive like a civilized human being.
i just recently put my intake back on like 3 days ago
and my ecu isnt adjusted yet and my intake is really loud
so i have to wait for it break in again.
its usually a lot quieter than it sounds in the video.
i measured at 115 decibels
at 8k rpm
