Hey guys,
Looking at buying some RMF 4-1 headers for my dc2r. Cant find the advice needed for the install. Will these fit up with my standards aus spec exhaust? or what will be needed to fit.
Also what sort of price would you pay for these? they were 450 which seems OK i though?
cheers
i think you need to either swap your fans for slim ones or cut out some of the shroud to fit them on DC2.
Yea what super DA9 said. I have some sitting in my warddrobe waiting to be installed, they cost me $500 ($150) shipping. The fan shroud NEEDS to be trimmed and possibly the o2 sensor wires needs to be extended or purchase a new one with longer wires.
THey make GREAT POWER and the ground clearance is probably the best i have seen for a 4-1 header.
cheers fellas!
farrrrrk serious? man i got the rmf rep that was for sale thought it was straight bolt on lol, you reckon the exhaust shop could fit it?
Any decent exhaust shop will. You may also break a head bolt off that will need to be replaced ,if your car hasnt had the header changed since factoryQuote:

WHy would you want to do that though? You would be bottlenecking the whole system. To get the real benefits from headers you need a bigger exhaust to match the collector and high flow catQuote:

i have the rmf kiddracing headers, i experainced that i couldn't use my oem fans because the fan blades would touch the header. so i needed the slim line fan. yes this is with the stock oem radiator.
its a must for anyone using a dual core radiator. heres a few pics

I got away with just trimming my fan shroud in my EG:Quote:

Most people get away with trimming, could be lots of things wrong maybe my engine mounts were stuffed or something. Or maybe the replica version has a better fit.Quote:

couple install tidbits
1. a/c fan shroud needs to be burtalized
2. a/c fan will touch the header till its melted (makes a really annoying noise til the fan blade melts
3. primary o2 sensor was way to short had to extend it
4. it comes with a weird double donut pretty gay
5. def not possible to install with a stock cat without modification
6. easier to install from down bellow
7. it eliminates the use of the header bracket under the car
8. replace the spring bolts to avoid stress on the header (I contemplated a flex pipe (still am)
awesome info, thanks!Quote:
