I've never heard of Speed Daddy. For only $100 I have a feeling they'll never fit perfectly though.

duyx817

we dont know if its good because no one ever tried it.. but maybe you can be the first?

i got the DC Sport ones they fit just fine for me and they were 400ish shipped. and they still look brand new had them for over a year now.
but never buy crappy stuff. it wont fit right, crack or leak and theres all kinds of other issues

agreed.... get DC headers. for the price vs quality it's a no-brainer

Got SS obx's,been on for 2 months.
bolted up fine
reused stock exhaust manifold gaskets.
used that gasket maker stuff for the header to cat gasket.
no leaks still look good.
And give you added power.
got mine for $265 shipped with some bargining.
It's possibly the best option.
price vs design.
cheapest one flex pipe header and I have nothing bad to say yet.

Not be against everyone's decision im gonna buy em and then post on here how they work!!

two flex pipes suck
u should only need one. if u have another one, thats a cheap fix bc it doesnt fit right
the fist flex pipe tends the blow out really fast, but then again any cheap flex pipe will. like the ones that they use on cheap headers like this
and im about 100% sure ur gonna have exhaust resonance bc they use thin metal for the headers and down pipe.

time will tell and ppl have had complaints with the dual flex pipe headers. just wait and see.

and if im gonna be putting on headers and dealing with rusted bolt and tight space. im gonna do it once and do it right.

cheapest i found on ebay WITHOUT that useless mini plex pipe. There shouldnt be a flex pipe in there at all. It should all be straight pipe. What MIT grad thought it would be a good idea to put that retarded mini flex pipe in there anyway????

fitment problems. thats why they have two flex pipes. fitment problems

RoccoRock

iTrader: (1)

its obvious that they're copying compechs design right? how hard is it to make a simple bend??

I personally bought the SS autochrome ones when i had the chance. $130 shipped was great. Had them on for almost 2 years with no problems. I used fel-pro manifold gaskets to make up for any inconsistancies at the flanges.....no leaks. I also used fel-pro "donut" gaskets for the J-pipe and converter flange. Havent had any problems whatsoever. Maybe i got lucky.

One other thing i noticed, none of the cheap-o's have the bend for the 6 speed guys. if anyone that has a six speed and wants headers, dont buys these....they wont fit.

98JDMCL

well you sure cant get all 3

SexyCLS

Alright Guys ijust installed the Cheappy headers and they work great !!
But the mini Flex Pipe im just gonna replace it with a pipe!
but they dont make much of a diffrence as my dc headers though
!iwill post pics up later

you never know if the headers are any good look at xs some people say they suck and still now people want it you have to try it. see if it fits might be another solution to headers.

You really should have a flex pipe there. Just replace it with a higher quality unit.

rp_guy

the front flex pipe (the smaller one as he says) is not necessary if they weld it while it's on the car, imo. the front and rear headers shouldn't be moving independently of each other while bolted to the engine.


the rear one needs to be on because it attaches to the rest of the exhaust.

ML03CLS

Just for clarification:

Flex pipes are not *designed* to correct fitment issues, they are very prone to premature failure if mounted with force on them. Flex pipes are intended to be used to isolate the engine from the exhaust to reduce vibration and noise. There will not be more than a 1-2mm variation in bracket position on any OEM exhaust/header, and this variation will be taken up by the mounting brackets. There is also a tolerance for the full system (from header to exhaust tip), that is taken into consideration.

SexyCLS

I Just welded a straight pipe where the mini flex pipe was and now experiencing vibration issues!!
gonna replace the mini flex pipe with a higher quality one?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

all u need is ONE flex pipe. right before the cat on the j pipe

rp_guy

when does it vibrate? on throttle, idle, etc?

could be that it just needs to be rewelded, but done better..

I just reread what he said and he mentioned the mini flex pipe. I thought he was talking about the main flex pipe, which is recommended.

SexyCLS

the vibrating nasty sound started whn i removed the Mini Flex Pipe!
ithink im just gonna end up buying a good mini flex pipe

sounds sometime's at idle, whn accelerating, and at a stop at a stop light ect.

SexyCLS

OK i Found out wht was cause the header to vibrate!!!
it was rubbing on a piece of frame on the bottom car so i cut a 2inch metal tht was rubbing and fixed woo hoo!!
Its a Great Gain With Those headers!
