JDM DC5R header wont fit my DC5R

[type_AHH]

So I took a picture from the side of the headers...



Comparing them to the side picture of the JDM DC5R headers, they look virtually the same from the pictures, though the fact my headers do not fit suggests a tiny difference between the bend angles.

Sigh. Off to the sale thread it goes...

4-2 part of JDM DC5R and EP3R are completely the same but not the 2-1 part, its a little bit shorter than JDM DC5R one......
if u can get ur harder to muffler shop they can fit it for u by extend a bit, i think ~$150 in ur case......gd luck

Yeah the 2-1 piece was the thing giving me problems. I wasn't aware it was possible to extend headers... I guess there might be some hope yet.

Can you recommend a good exhaust shop to do this?

Not sure if this is 100% true, im running JDM EP3R headers. No issues and no worries for me... and yes they are off a EP3R, so im sure that JDM headers are the same, dont matter if DC5 or EP3

So after all?! From reading the last 2 post.

Can u direct bolt on jdm EP3r headers to a audm DC5r?

[blk_shadow]

mine works with the ep3r swaybar

[Timmy_B]

YES!!!!!

JDM Headers (DC5R or EP3R) will fit with a JDM swaybar.
Also its a good idea to buy an adapter for the 2nd O2 sensor as it needs to be longer.
cost me $12 fro usa.
