Has anybody just put a header on their car?

Has anybody just put a header on their car?
I was thinking about buying a dc header and running it with the stock exhaust. Does anybody know how it sounds or has anybody tried it out?

I don't have the DC header, but what do you need to know exactly? I bet your questions could be answered by alot of people here.

I have the Comptech Header myself, with the stock exhaust. Headers don't typically add sound, like changing your exhaust or intake does. If it does, its very subtle. Had a header with stock exhaust on 2 cars now, and I have never noticed a change in sound.

I have the comptech header (see my existing on going thread of the vibration) and it barely got louder. Under normal driving you can't tell a difference. During WOT its a little louder and its def noticeably louder during vtec.

for a race header you'll have to look at Hytech. A header swap, by itself, will not change the sound much, if any.

Correction. Search for Hytech, Weapon R, and Toda. I understand all 3 make race headers.

I believe J's Racing also make headers for the CL7 which is the Euro R, It can be modify to fit the CL9 TSX. but expect to pay between $800 to $900 bucks.

Check Ebay for header TSX, they have DC Sports, Comptech, Weapon R, and Spoon header. I saw 1 Weapon R and Spoon on Ebay now, Check it out.

http://search.ebay.com/search/search...tsx&category0=

Weapon R cost $552.50 and Spoon cost $1,028.35.

I am not sure if Weapon R is good quality and performance or not.

Spoon is nice but a little different design.

I like my CT header, no rattles or anything on an 06 M/T, oh and for fedex, if you leave a note on your door with your signature they'll just drop it at the door....

I know that man but I just like the simplicity of keeping a thread going and nice people giving replies. Also its nice to have different inputs because some people don't look through other threads..

Yeah I know OBX but not good quality a like other race header, but it depends on your budget to spend the upgrade header. If you can be able to afford the SPOON or Mugen or Hytech or Toda. If you are looking for good deal then go with DC Sports or Comptech. You can go with DC Sports with a test pipe, just check the welding issue on DC. There are two different brands for test tipe, Random Cat and T1 pipe. I believe that T1 pipe is better and good price. Check www.aj-racing.com and they sell T1 pipe.
