I'm about to purchase a dc sports race header for my 03 ep and I've already got the megan racing drift spec exhaust, I'm just wondering about fitment..I know I'll lose my cat but im not worried about it...it should bolt right up to the catback correct?

It should bolt right up, because i have a dc header and its hooked up to my stock exhaust so in theory it should work, also i would suggest not to get DC, ive only had it for 4 months and my flex pipe is starting to leak, look into other headers.

Yeah as long as everything is EP3- specific, it should all bolt right up. :thumbu:

yeah i would not get a dc header they are junk. my flex pipe rotted out and leaked. and where the o2 goes it forms all sorts of rust. and i ended going with a skunk2 header and damn it seems to flow alot better.

What do the DC's have that other headers dont? How do they bolt right up to a cat-back? Do they COME with a "test pipe" of some sort attached?

I always used the defouler trick and it has never given me any problems.
As far as header slection i used to own an obx before i traded it and now am about to put on an rsx-s spec dcrh. I only paid $100 for the dc though so im not too worried about it. I have heard good things and bad things about the dc. For $100 I just couldnt pass it up tho.

same for me, the defouler has always worked for me and has been for over 2 years now. I have the ssr race header paired up to 3" exhaust and couldn't be happier

really i dont kno what it is the cell wont stay off. i know the o2 isnt bad cuz i just switched it back to stock to pass emissions. any suggestions. and thats a good price on that dc for a hundred bucks i would recomend sanding it down and doin a new coat of header paint on it just seems we all have the same probs with it rotten out. maybe that will save it idk just my thought

I bought an angled one from clubrsx for the secondary o2 sensor do I also need one for the primary o2 sensor?
