I just installed my injen cold air and I ordered my header and will be coming in tomorrow. I havent bought my exhaust yet but will be buying it soon and im thinking of the apexi wsII I like that stockish can look and what people think. Wondering if anybody has this setup or any idea how it sounds and should I get a test pipe? Thinking about slapping these on even though I dont have my exhaust just yet. Idk if its true but I read that with Dc headers you lose power.

 

Not many ppl run the DC header.

 

yea I got it as a gift so I cant complain to much

 

Why wouldn't you just return it for credit or sell it. I don't understand why you would put on an aftermarket part that has no benefit and may negatively impact performance.

 

well I could do that but is it really worth it? I want it to sound nice is really all...I threw in the towel in racing after getting caught so many times lol

 

I'd sell the DC garbage and get a real header.

 

ive just heard that its the same as OEM headers... of course thats what i heard.... i would say just get the invidia tp and it will sound mean when you get exhaust!

 

^This is an in-line 4-cylinder, so they only have one header not 2.

The DC may make a 1-2hp, but it could also loose 1-2hp. You would save some weight though.

 

Yeah just sell it. You could use the money to save for something that is actually useful on this car.

 

I do have the exact setup you talked about
I trade my civic CF hood for the DC ( hope didn't do it )
I have an invidia TP
apexi wsII is my exhaust + AEM cold air intake

the DC is the only thing that didn't make any power
the wsII is a good looking exhaust but if you'll keep the catalec then it will not give you any sound it will be as it's stock
put the invidia TP and feel the deferent's
