Sorry, gotta do it

 

san-ant, do you have 6mt? also any rattle issues with your DC header?

 

no. I did check on this and a guy at the dealership here did not know of any changes to the engine in the accord from the previous models and we still get the same 190hp as the earlier models did!
sadly

 

it's not on yet (see my complaint letter). but should be on this weekend. i'll take pictures of the header tomorrow. i have a 6mt.

 

New header from DC without cracking issues?

 

it´s feeling a little better now after I´ve driven it a few times, it probably did free up a few ponies
can´t wait to find what the intake will do with this

 

h1, do you notice any low RPM torque? (1000-3000 rpm)

 

I definately felt a low end torque gain.

 

I can´t quite point it out it just feels a little peppier?

 

here ya go. I didnt take a pic of the harness, it's just a foot long braided cable with attachments at each end to extend the original cable:

 

Your DC header came with a cable?

 

yes:

 

Does that flex pipe have inner mesh too? or is it just like the older version on the inside?

 

inside is a solid tube

 

what's that mean?.....

------------
San-Ant wats the cable for?...

 

means I can´t point out a rpm range where I feel a difference. it just feels a little fresher overall?

 

it is the o2 sensor extension cable. the original cable will not reach the new o2 sensor hole on the dc header

 

The O2 sensor hole looks to be at the stock location.

 

Where is that cable supposed to go? The lead to the secondary O2 sensor is one piece all the way through the grommet into the inside of the car.

 

i'll post the instruction sheet tomorrow

 

The O2 sensor that goes into the header plugs into a harness in the engine bay.

 

I'm not sure why that cable would be needed.

 

Just a question,

The header people bought from ebay, Do you guys think this will fit on the 2006 TSX?
I just got my TSX 3 days ago, and looking forward to some headers + CAI.
Try to beat my friends Mazda 6 V6 !!!!

So yea. Simple question Will these headers fit on the 06 TSX?

 

Yeah it should I guess, ask JTso. Anyway performance wise the DC rip off is as good, and quality is good as long as it doesnt break. Looks doesnt matter since you wont be able to see the header anyway. It seems these guys dont have any issues with the header

 

my accord is an 06. an allthough it didn´t get the upgrades the 06TSX got I can´t see why the header shouldn´t fit?

 

No changes in the fitment of the header from 05 to 06.

 

The quality and looks of my header is very good. It has TIG wields it looks like...better than the MIG wields on the DC.

 

so which seller did you buy from? You made the decision. I'm giving it a shot

 

I bought it from the guy that started this thread, actually.

 

kwjustin89, just punched the buy it now button from ebay. So does the hissing bother you? And are you thinking of dynoing it sometime?

 

I actually like the hissing sound....it's kinda neat. I would like to dyno it, but I really don't have any time to drive 150+ miles to the dyno.

 

well if the header gives about 10whp and 4-5lbft of torque getting it instead of DC is a better choice.

 

please let us know the result after you get it installed.

 

yeah sure. I have put down my trust to kwjustin89's review. I'm sure just the price is low doesnt mean that it's bad quality. After all almost all things are made in china nowadays :P

 

i'm giving this a shot, ordering my in a few days

 

can you guys link me the ebay site? i couldn't find it.

 

Neat or not, I dont like the idea of an exhaust leak.

 

why? will it cause any problem?

 

Like any leak, they tend to get worse over time. Plus the fact that carbon monoxide could leak into the cabin, which is somewhat bad for your health, or lack thereof when your're dead.

 

Dude there is no exhaust leak. Its the way the flex pipe is. The flex pipe is like the DC header where there is no mesh on the inner side. Hence the hiss. The DC header hisses just like this one. I mentioned that earlier in the thread.
