i just installed a dc stainless steel header on my s. had it done by honda, problem is the vtec sometimes shuts off when i take off in first gear and hit vtec. the rpms gradually reduce and eventually the motor shuts itself off. any ideas guys?

 

- wierd, how can that happen by installing a header... and 'honda' did it...

 

Thats what you get for letting the dealer touch your car.

which dealer was it?

Also, the dc header isnt good for any power is it?

Post in the North Texas section and see if they can help. If not, you are gonna have to take the car by a local PERFORMANCE shop like Jotech to let them check it out.

 

is your car warmed up fully? and what do you mean by shut off? Like... completly shut off?

- people say no gains, we know its lighter.... BUT according to a magizine there was a 3hp gain

 

one mag had gain with the ceramic header. i thnk 2 peak

 

so not worth the trouble or the money basically

Take the car back to the dealer and if they cant fix it, you are gonna have to take it to one of the local performance import shops.

Let me know if you need to know where they are.

 

You are either low on oil, or are not warmed up. But i guess that it would be possible to bump, or hit the vtec soilenoid(sp) during a header install. A header itself to my knowlage cannot harm or retard vtec in any way. PM either xviper or gernby their both realy smart PS enter your vin number in your profile to become an owner. Blues the best

 

is your c.e.l on??
