After a night of canyon racing I noticed a really bad rattling sound coming from under the car. I took my mid-pipe off and put the stock piece back on thinking it was that. I took a look around under there and tapped a couple parts and shook things around a bit. Turns out the sound was coming from the headers. I pulled the headers off and noticed that the welds that hold splitter inside had come apart; the welds suck. I called DC and they sent out another one right away. I got it today and looked at it closely. See the weld that I circled in yellow? That wasn't welded on my old header. It seems like DC realized they messed up on the first batch of headers and started welding the bottom and sides of the splitter. Before, they only welded the bottom of it. Just as a heads up, maybe anybody that ordered their headers when they first came out should check this out. I thought I just had bad luck, but SpeedRacer is hearing the same sound but is too lazy too pull his headers off.
I'm glad I took my mid-pipe off b/c I looked at it closer and noticed the flanges weren't welded on correctly. There's a small gap and it leaks. As of now I'm almost completly stock, all I have is a CAI. I think I might just sell the headers and leave the stock one on.
