I installed the DC Headers into my 2006 PWP 6 Speed today. Just wanted to let other '06 owners know there are no fitment issues, as mine fit nice and snug

Also, I installed mine as a single unit versus mounting the primary first, and installing the secondary after. If others plan on doing it this way, the warnings I give are:

1) Make sure the car is raised high enough to provide clearance of the header to be mated to the motor. I had to jack my car higher prior to installation.
2) It is a pain in the a$$ to get the hanger mount on! I found it easier to remove the hanger from the car, install it on the header, and then install it back onto the car.

Not sure which way is more efficient, but I thought I'd try it since the Comptech header comes as a single piece.

This was a nice addition to my current mods (K&N Typhoon, Hondata Reflash, TB Bypass Mod), and was noticeable according to my butt dyno

Next performance mod I'll be installing is my Tanabe Super Hyper Medallion exhaust. Stay tuned until next time...

 

The trick to install it as one piece is to hook the header hanger to the rubber hanger first (do not remove the rubber hanger off the frame). Then rotate the header up and mount it to the head.

 

hey thanks man!! i made a thread asking about this earlier that didn't really get answered. glad to see/hear that there's no fitment issues

 

eatrui, great, now go drive some!

Then come back and tell us what it sounds like. Im curious if you have any hissing or buzzing like others have had before.

 

what kind of headers did u get? i have an 06 so what should i get ?

 

it's in the first sentence

 

it doesnt say what type it says dc headers. i called the place i was ordering from and they told me the headers for 04-05 wont fit the 06 so i was wondering the model of headers.

 

if i'm not mistaken DC only makes one type of header for our car

 

There's only one header man, as 04/05/06 all exhaust parts are identical. Headers are interchangeable. The topspeed header fits my 06 just fine as well.

 

It fits. The description on the label indicated the part was for a 2004 TSX.

Noises - - didn't observe any "hissing" noises. It might be my CAI is noisey enough to overpower those sounds.

 

etarui, i'm surprised you didn't go with a mugen setup as your avatar might indicate. anways, i'm sure you'll enjoy the gains of the dc header as i have. keep us posted ...

 

Haha...I have the Mugen NR's sitting in my den right now (It's killing me!). In between changing diapers, feeding, and cleaning bottles for my new-born, I am finalizing a couple of other mods first.

Next up is the Tanabe Super Hyper Medallion Exhaust, Progress Rear Sway Bar, and Tein FLEX with EDFC. Once those are in, the Mugen NR's will find their new home

Other Mugen parts I have, while minor, are the Oil Cap, Magnetic Drain Plugs (Oil & Transmission), and Lug Nuts.

Cheers!

 

Agreed! That is a better solution. The unfortunate part was I was unable to get the car high enough off the ground for clearance to rotate the header up. I really need to buy a new jack

 

If you've got a full CAI, it is probably masking any noises. I've got a Icebox to stay nearly stock (didn't like the full growl of Injen I had) and I think the header noises I have are pretty subtle compared to that. For some reason I like my mods to remain quiet.

 

^How do you like the combo of headers/Icebox? Decent upgrade over stock?

 

^i agree with REACH "to keep mines nearly stock".
i like the header/icebox, cuz the car rev up quicker and for the little increase at top end. but it would be your decision on what to go for, as far as what sound u what at cruising or WOT. so the choose is your......
