Problem with DC Sports header - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jason@SportsCar · 07-31-2013, 04:39 PM

The lead on the bolt is way long, and I recall the tip is not even the same diameter as the main body of the bolt. On our 2012 we took about 1/4" off the bolt, problem solved. Had no problem putting the shorter bolt back in.

Thanks!

If you bought it from Garm I doubt you will have a problem. I bought mine from him a couple years ago. Once I put that gasket thing back in, it worked fine.

Megan Racing header is cheaper, and fits great, since you can't see it anyways no point in getting a shinny one, just get one that works.

I am actually a big fan of the Weapon-R (I has one) and would recommend it. There is also a huge price premium between the two... and I haven't heard of any issues with them.

Same here.

Their assembly is impeccable. The runners are joined so precisely they form a knife edge sharp enough to cut your finger.
