Post Just installed DC Header

For all the talk about how bad these headers are I was curious how the outcome would be. I must say I was thrilled with the increased throttle response and power between 4-redline. Before the car seemed to have some zip and then rocket once it reached vtec. Now ones I slam the gas around 4 it rockets to redline with a smooth transition into vtec. Anyone in my area that doesn't believe the header makes a difference I encourage you stop by for a test drive.

I have attached a short video with HKS dual Hi-Power, test pipe, AEM cai, and DC Header. It is short but I will post more later. The sound didn't change too much make a little deeper with more growl.

everyone here will think you are full of it until you post a before/after dyno.

everyone feels an improvement when they install something. It's a psychological response called cognitive dissonance.

Specially with your HKS dual it must "rocket to redline". Race a stock s2k (same model year, similar mileage) and post the video.

The HKS if for sound and looks I don't think anyone will tell you any different.
