Sorry for the stupid post but I'm not an expert on these things and don't want to get scammed.

I've found this header for sale locally and want to know:

(1) Is it appropriate for a USDM B18c5.

(2) Will it bolt up to the ITR cat

(3) Approximate value

(4) Can I expect any gains without a V-afc?

As you can see it is scraped on the bottom but is not dented. The seller claims it's a DC 4-1 JDM Stainless Steel Header with a 2.5" collector.

I currently only have a AEM CAI and a cat-back exhaust.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Looks like the JDM DC 4-1 to me, cant really tell for sure since i cant measure the collector in person. I wouldnt pay more than 225 for it.

 

definitely is a JDM 4-1, wont bolt up to stock cat.
the collector on the header is 2.5", stock cat. is 2 1/4"
you would see some nice gains but nothing spectacular, if you want a nice header that will bolt up to your stock cat I'm selling a 4-2-1 Comptech TIG welded s/s header...

 

It's not a JDM 4-1, it's a DC JDM 4-1. It will hang lower than the oil pan. You can expect come noticeable gains with this header and a hi flow cat. You will need an s2000 donut gasket for the collector. Looks ok, looks like it was scratched pretty good. Approximate value? New about $350, I think.

you will get better gains with a vafc.

Thanks guys. He wants $340 for it. From what I'm hearing that's what a new one will cost...

Any other opinions out there?

Aaron.

 

pay no more then 250.

Its used and aint worth it.

 

Ture..

If i were you i would look into getting new JDM DC header.. if you like DC..

 

$340 USD.. or CDN?

 

$340 US = 525 CDN. Thanks for the advice guys. I told the seller I'm not interested at that price.

 

you can get BRANDNEW JDM DC 4-1 for 550 or less CAD

 

DC JDM basically worthless once installed, I'd offer him $200 USD for it.

Save up about $100 and get yourself a real JDM ITR 4-1 header. Just my .02

 

Good to see more 604-R's here
