Installation was pretty straightforward. My advice would be to start with spring bolts (two bolts that connect hader to the midpipe) - I unbolted the header first thus had a little problem with spring bolts later. Bolts other than spring bolts were easy to remove. No issues whatsover with removing the o2 sensor as well.
Fitment: the header fits perfectly (had minor issue with big bolt that fastens the lower part of the beader to the engine - kinda support the header/midpipe coupling). Driving impressions: no torque loss in the low/mid range.. feels like some gain overall. The car easily hits 100kmh in the second gear (6700 rpm)- not sure it was feasible before. Could not be happier. Some pics will follow. |

I know this header is ceramic so there's no need to wrap it right?

DO NOT WRAP A HEADER!!! wrap is bad avoid it, it holds moisture and increases corrosion. Its coated leave it as is.

Hey, question about installation. It is possible without jacking up the car? People say they think you can, but can I? Want to install it today, but have no jack stands, unfortunately.

Possible? Sure.
PITA? Definitely.

The flange bolts from header to downpipe are only accessible from below. I don't know about you, but personally I cannot fit under the car if not raised.

I'm thinking to drive the front of the car on a curb just enough, so it would be sitting over the concrete, on the grass. Then I can slide underneath and hopefully reach the bolts still. Or is there a reason why this is flawed ?
Won't be on grass, just concrete. Going to do tomorrow morning. |

Is there a reason you don't put the heat shield back on? You'd think you'd want to, to keep your engine bay cool and exhaust header hot.

I just installed mine yesterday and i LOVE it. it was a PITA to take out the stock header without a 12mm deep socket.. so if you are thinking of getting the dc header make sure to get one! I ended up going to the store to pick one up when i got to the last bolt.. lol. No CELs and no leaks! Definitely recommend it.
I have an afe short ram, trd axleback, MI pulley and I'm an AT. I definitely feel a difference and getting to 60-70mph is like butter.

TRD made a 4-1 header (exhaust manifold) for the Vitz 1NZ-FE.
