I read people had issues with DC sport headers fitting and leaking.
I know they redid there design and I am about to order some HHC5528
and want to know if anyone has these and how they like them performace wise and fitment wise.

Thanks guys!

i had the first batch (the two bolt flanges, not the 3) the only problem i had was installing them. i had to loosen the rear motor mount to get the rear manifold hole over the stud. this was in my auto tl-s. with the 6spd it might be diff bc it has a smaller rear motor mount (i think). i had no leak issues.

DC's won't fit a 6spd CL

I Need to know if it will have any fitment issues on a 2001 CL-S auto?
Does anyone have thes headers on there 2001 Auto?
How are the gains , any noise issues after install?
I'm going to order them next week some time if Excelerate has them in stock and want to find out if anyone has had any issues with them b4 I do spend $400...
Thanks guys!

if your going to spend 400 bucks, why not save a little more and get comptech headers, they are about 600 used, you would no worries with the comptech.

StonedCL

Dude im streaching it wanting to spend 350 on headers IM NOT spoending $600 on headers at first it was Under 300 on OBX or Megan but alot of people are saying spend an extra $100 on DC. I WOULD love for u all to say get megan or OBX there the best, but I am not hearing that..and I AM DEFF not gonna spend more the DC on used comptech, there is always gonna be something better, If I were to post im getting used Comptechs for $600-$700 someone would say might as well get new ones for 1K..
So its OBX, Megan, or DC...I am not gonna wait to find comptech for $500 and worry about a small crack or some other BS... I WOULD really LOVE to get my hands on some XS and be done with it for $100 bucks!!! BUT CANT FIND XS anywhere anymore..

If it makes you feel better when I get around to headers im probably going to get OBX's despite what people say. They come with a lifetime warranty and headers are pretty straight forward....pipes connected to a flange.

I was initally looking at OBX but after all the searching it seems like people are having more problems with them then MEgan Racing..
It seems Like the new DC header design is the best (so people say) but I have not talk to anyone that actully had it on there car!

I emailed assaultech to ask them about the hhc5528. he said 339 shipped, and will call dc directly tomorrow to see if it includes the J pipe.

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

Let me know what they say, I belive it does include the downpipe.
Is there a website i can order it from for $339 shipped?
Let me know what happens!

camaroracer016

Here ya go! ( I talked to Dan.)

So the net gain with adding headers is 30 hp!? Kinda hard to believe..

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

i gained bout 20-22 whp with the first gen dc headers on my auto tl-s

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

Did u dyno it, Or take a guess?
What do u think 20whp will cut off in 1/4 times 1/2 second ? Prob less?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

this was dynoed. i was dynoing with my na mods. then with the 100 shot when my trans blew.

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

Did u find out if it includes the "J" pipe yet?
Im pretty sure they all do, you cant attach it to the stock J pipe?
Do they have HHC5528 in stock?

When r u going to order yours?

camaroracer016

I emailed Them again, Waiting for a response. I Will probably order mine once i get my settlement from my accident a couple months back, I wasted all my extra cash on my 21st B-day, and my new SA-XD45. lol

Excelerate

There were no issues with the last batch of DC headers. However, they have been on back order for about a year or more now. Don't order them until they are actually in hand. DC said end of May but who knows.

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

Let me know If he has them in stock, same goes for you Excelerate..Thanks..

I might just bite the bullet and go with megan racing alot of people have no problems with then and the company acctully sounds like they are there to help u if u run into any problems..

I dunnno ...

TheWeez

All these header threads make me wanna get around to installing my XS.

camaroracer016

wanna sell those to me??

camaroracer016

Stoned- I got a response back from Dan at assultech. He said they are instock, but do no include a J pipe.

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

So u are suppose to use the stock J-pipe, that don't sound right?
Anyone else install these?
Did u guys use the stock J-Pipe?

camaroracer016

He told me that is the intended use. But i too would like some insight on this.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

dont get those. spend the extra $100 or so and wait till excelerate has the dc sports in stock. they include the headers and j pipe.

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

Why would DC sport send that company headers with no J-Pipe and others headers w/j pipe?
Makes no sense?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

ask them a for a pic of the headers. if they have a "dc sports" label thing welded on it, its authentic since the name is copy write(d) and no one would want to get sued to make a couple hundred

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

If it does not include a J - pipe I want no part of it even for $339..shipped
I can get Megans from a reputable company for $280 ..shipped
I want to wait for excelerate to get DC but who knows when he will get them and who know if it will include the J - pipe?

This is getting more confuzing everyday i research headers more and more..

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

exelerate had the dc's in stock a few months back and they sold quickly, they included everything u needed for the install.

duCksterz

did the new dc headers came out yet?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

yes. but they are on back order right now. been on back order for a while.

camaroracer016

Hmm This is making no sense.

mastini

iTrader: (6)

btw, any updates on it?

fsttyms1

Seriously. Why would they not include the J pipe. They are useless without it. The DC that Excelerate sells includes EVERY THING. There is no reason this needs to be confusing.

mastini

iTrader: (6)

Looks like they are back order @ Excelerate yet

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

so best headers to price are XS but they dont make for 6 spd them anymore ? sucks

paulierand

they don't make them anymore period.
