[Euro] DC Header - Arrived

**Matell** · 14-06-2005 08:03 PM

Well I received my DC Header today from Wholehyper in the US (trader on tsxclub.com). He shipped via USPS at my request which made this an absolute steal at around $500AUD delivered.

If I can squeeze a dyno run in on Friday to get another baseline before this install I will. Otherwise I'll install it within the next few weeks.

Not sure if its the "fixed" version that's supposedly rectified the cracking at the flex pipe problem. The sticker says 31st May 2005 so I would've though so. If not weld time

Even though I paid the extra for an extended warranty I decided a while ago to hell with it. I've followed the guys in the US who mod their TSX, and so far no one's had any warranty issues with their mods. It's not to say it won't happen, just that so far the statistics indicate it's very unlikely which is good enough for me!

Besides I can always return it to stock if need be and if I decide to sell.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Baboo's is JDM stainless steel that's top quality all over! It's an M-Bit and every weld is a work of art, when it was new you could probably have hocked a lugie into it and it would've slipped out the bottom and landed on your foot. lol. Not to mention you could buy 4, maybe 5 DC Headers for the price.

looks nice. Make sure you take pics as you install them. are you going to install them yourself or get someone to do it?
would be good to have a dyno before and after, just to see what difference it makes. Too bad euro is tempramental on dyno

I will be doing before and after dynos, but they'll be at least 1 week apart, so as is usual they can't be read into too deeply. I'm of two minds at the moment. I'd prefer to install it myself, but I also need to go to an exhast shop to have them add a weld bead around the inside just incase, and also fabricate a matching flange for a future direct swap high flow cat. So going by that logic I should just get them to install it.

m'eh....I'll see which way I'm motivated on the weekend

Nice Matell...

The DC Sports Header is definetly value for money. As for Baboo's Header that is a masterpiece in its own right... As can be seen by how much it costs...

Tell us how it goes with the DC sports... Coz if it does go good... Thats gonna be my next mod with a full custom exhaust....
