everybody I've talked to said it was garbage?

what CAI would you reccomend?

I like AEM

 

dont run a CAI , get a OEM intake w/ a K an N drop in


Dc's are cheap if you get one used , i wouldnt buy a new one.

Liek i said in the other thread....

smsp , an-r , bisimoto , dtr, ...etc all good headers...BUT they are 600+$$

 

well.. what is the collector on the dc?

why do ppl hate them so much?

so a AEM intake isnt worth it?

 

AEM suck up water...any CAI sucks up water....im telling ya OEM w/ a k an N's are the shit.

Dc are massed produced and they jsut dont make that much power over stock. ANd honestly MOST people that talk about them have never Ownd a real header in their life . DC' are good on OEM motors but on built motors if you want good power you need a good hand made header.

here is mine.



notice the weir ass design , also i cannot retain factory a/c

 

well... I plan on getting something with a B18c1 in a week or so if all goes well..

its pretty much stock everything.. right now.. I dont plan on doing any motor work at all.. the head/cams will never be removed..

I just want a stout all motor car then I'm gona spray the fucker..


I'm looking to go budget big time.. so thats why I was interested in the dc header.. and a used AEM intake..

maybe a TB, and cam gears.. or something

what do hondas use after the headers? do they use mid pipes at all? I definetely want a resonator... so my shit doesnt sound like bee's buzzin around..

what would you reccomend for a catback/mid pipe?

 

a DC sports would do you fine. as far as exhaust most people run fart cans. I run on my race car , 2.75 to a resinator to a flowmaster 40 series. BUT i have a 3in Ecut out so i can jsut dump straight header when ever. But with this new header is has a 3.5 in collector and 1.3/4 primaire's im just going to run straight header.

 

hm.. I guess run a fart can but before teh fart can run a resonator of some sort.. 2.5 all the way back?

 

the cai is a bad idea in florida with all the rain, however the aem short ram is just fine seeing as it puts the filter at the same height as the stock one, and the stock box usually draws air from below the headlight. a stock box with a k&n, NO. I agree that K&N is a good filter, but in a stock box, that's like dropping in a fully built motor capable of low 10's and leaving the axles stock. The stock box is still going to be restrictive as hell, if you keep the stock box even with a K&N the header is useless, your not increasing the airflow to the motor enough to even worry about increasing the exhaust capabilities.

 

do NOT get cai. its the devil. its the reason my car is no longer working..


and yea, dc headers are garbage.

 

get a short ram..dc's if u can afford anything else...high flowcat...1# cat back...i think it goes from 2.5 ta 4 inch at the tip...sounds nice and deep...next i think im going for a betta intake manifold next ... i knew a few kids who killed there cars with cai...95gainfl were u using a bypass valve???everyone i knew didnt..i wantted to know if thay worked...
