New DC header?

I am planning to get DC header from the states and I noticed that this one is different to what I've seen. The 2-1 pipe is long and doesnt have a flex pipe. Is this actually for the TSX?

That just a generic pic of a header. It's not for the TSX. Just look at which way the manifold is facing.

Jtso, how's your header doing? More low torque helps taking off easier?

I have the original version and it's doing just fine. There are other components that help the car take off easier such as light weight wheels/tires and Hondata refresh but the header does help.

currently with about 19kg wheel and injen CAI, take off is noticeably harder and require more throttle. Do you think using the DC header will solve this problem JTso?

A header is not going to solve the problem. You need to address the problem at the source - get lighter wheels.

The Injen takes away some of your low end power, and with those heavy wheels, it amplifies it even more.

if your going through ebay, email the vendors first and ask for the production date on the in stock header. there have been some changes made from the first set. get it as recent as possible.
