i have dc sport headers and full exhaust + im on 19 inch wheels.

i raced my friends integra GSR with headers and beat him by a car.
my other friends ek9 hatch with a GSR motor in it with intake and exhaust and we stayed door to door and i pulled on him on 4th gear.
i raced my friends 05 rsx-s he has intake and full exhaust that was MURDER cuz he got me by atleast 15 cars (he beats s2000 and g35's so dont wonder why these 05 rsx-s are real serious).
raced my friend 05 civic si got him by atleast 3-4 cars.
another 05 si but he has intake headers and full exhaust we raced in the rain (which was real stupid cuz i didnt grip till 4th gear and i still got him by half a car).

welcome to the site. you running with the cel on because of the headers, or did you get around it?

 

[hilow4343]

no cel...got anti-fouler on and it has worked

How do you personally feel about the effect of the header on the car's sound signature?

actually headers gave me nice gains and so did the s-pipe..but when i did the full exhaust i lost alot of lowend which kinda sucked...

Full exhaust; like the kits offered by Creative Compacts . com? Which exhaust did you go with; Magnaflow, FlowMaster or Borla?

Sorry if I'm bugging you with a lot of questions but I hope you understand I'm out to avoid losing bottom-end since I drive mostly in the NY metropolitan area and low-end grunt is important to me--I'd like to learn from your wisdom if possible.

Thank you!!!

EDIT: Btw, Welcome to the forum!

EDIT2: Oh yeah, could you please let me know about the effect of the sound if possible from the header/s-pipe upgrade? If you did all of it at once along with the exhaust, nevermind then--too hard to tell which part did what. Again, thanks!

i did custom 2.5 mandrel bent piping from s-pipe back. i have no cats just a magnaflow resonator to muffle sound. if your looking into some lower end get a highflow cat with it all the company selling exhaust systems offer it. and as for sound my car is extremely loud its annoying but w/e makes power. i lost lower end but gained a sweet amount of mid range/top end so its ok.
