What sway bar are you running?
If you are running the stock one it won't fit. You need an after market one (EP3R or whiteline)
-
I got an EP3R sway bar, but the sway bar's not the problem as we didn't even get to reach that stage.
We tried pushing the 2-1 piece as close as we could to the 4-2 piece, but it just simply wouldn't reach it... because 2-1 was touching the frame.
I just don't understand how it could *not* fit.
Is there a possibility that they are EP3R headers and therefore difference in size/shape to JDM DC5R headers?
-
They could be EP3r headers (I've never seen them to compare)
-
No one else has any input? T.T
-
seriosuly, 45Set is the guy to answer your problem. He has gone from audm ->jdm headers in his dc5r before. so im confident in his statement.
-
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm thinking (actually, HOPING, so at least I can resell it if I knew what car it came from) the same thing as 45SET... that these headers could possibly be EP3R headers as they don't fit my car, but I need some sort of definite confirmation

^ To me after seeing these, the angle of the (2-1) downpipe/Cat seems different and less upright.
But it's impossible to compare with your original photo though.
Could you take a side-on shot?
Compare it, to the side-on shot of a JDM DC5 2-1; which seems to be more upright at an angle of 45°;
I would think between the DC5 and EP3 header, the top section would be similar, and the bottom section 2-1, be different to compensate for the relative wheelbases.

hey mate, i have had this problem before. no one knew what it was either i went to several exhaust shops but couldnt get it to fit. i beleive u have the jdm ep3r header which will not fit the audm dc5r. best bet is to sell it and buy a set from a jdm dc5r or save up a bit more and get toda.

Oh damn you went through this too ey. That's good to hear (not as in you also buying the wrong header, I mean it in the sense that you have validated our suspicions).
Side-on shoot sounds like a good idea too, I'll take a side shot this weekend and post it up to compare.

the first set of those headers i tried to fit had exactly same problems the 4-2 bit fit perfectly but was having trouble with the 2-1 bit hitting that lower cross frame. i then later did some researched it and found out it was from the ep3r which will not fit our dc5rs. A few months down the track i got a 2nd set from 45set and tried installing them myself this time before i brang to mechanic and it fit perfectly. so, to sum it all up i beleive the ones you got are from an ep3r and it wont fit
