DC sports header installed. - Toyota Yaris Forums

largeorangefont · 08-17-2007, 12:23 AM

I picked up my car from AEM today with the DC sports header on it. It is ceramic coated, and finish and fit look great. I can't comment on the install because I didnt install it. It seems pretty straightforword to install.

The header is a 4-1 equal length design. The runners are probably 4 inches longer then stock or the Megan header. The collector is right at the flange to the midpipe, as opposed to the stock and megan headers that have the collector, and a couple inches of single pipe to the flange. The longer runners will give the car more torque in the low to mid range.

Currently all I have on the car is an NST pulley and the header. The car has more low and midrange power. You can definately feel the increased pickup. It seems to rev more freely and pulls a bit more on the top end. I assume I will see more of a top end gain when I replace the exhaust and intake. I am very impressed with the gains. I would say the gains are as much if not slightly more noticeable than the pulley. I was a bit worried that I would lose low end power from this but that was not the case at all. The car sounds completely the same. There is no difference in pitch or tone with the stock catback.

Good stuff Ashley! I'm glad someone figured out how to cram some long runners in there. It will be good for the N/A crowd.

They used my car for R&D so I got it for free. They have an axleback coming out too. I was supposed to get that as well, but unfortunately it didn't happen this time.

Wow, I've been waiting for the DC headers for about a year now when I first heard they were in development. Does this mean they will be available soon?

I've been wanting a header since WeaponR teased us about a 4-2-1. Sounds like DC may have come out with a decent alternative. Can't wait to hear more.

Honestly, I think the DC design is better than cramming 3 merge collectors to make a 4-2-1into that small of a space.

cm07yaris · 08-17-2007, 07:52 PM

will this be available only in ceramic or will they produce it in chrome/polished?

blueskana · 08-17-2007, 08:24 PM

ETA on this???
