What Headers for DC5 Type S?

[vippy84]

... I'm quite tempted for the J's Racing header but need more reviews about them (can't find much)...

I can only say positive things about J's racing header. I used to own one. With 4-2 header, it gives you the flexibility over exhaust type that you can use, e.g. J's Racing 70RR, Mugen N1.

Having said that, the one for sale should be stainless steel J's Racing header. Depending on when he bought it as the Titanium one only just recently came out. I might be wrong. Please check with the seller.

How exactly is a cat welded onto the header? do they cut a part of the header to fit or do they just attach it before the b pipe?

Cut off flex pipe and replace it With a cat. You can add flange both sides of the cat so that one side bolts on to the headers and the other side to the b pipe

Thanks! Would any exhaust shop be able to do this?

Yes but make sure you tell them or else they will leave the flex pipe and cut your exhaust b pipe to fit the cat

Hey guys i found a guy selling me toda headers, the headers come with a high flow cat which is not welded in the headers. how does this work? or does toda also sell high flow cats as a seperate piece?

It can be a seperate piece. Doesn't have to be welded. It's just bolted on

Do I also have to upgrade my stock engine mounts when I change to Toda headers? If so where can I purchase engine mounts that are reliable and bang for buck?

No but because stock engine mounts are weak and break quite easy, I would recommend changing them. I can only give you advice on the hardrace mounts. They are quite decently priced and vibrations aren't that much difference from stock. Jdmyard sell them and so do a few other places.

+1 for hardrace, you can try ebay too!

Hau,

Do the hardrace mounts feel stiffer than stock? Migght be hard to gauge but would it be similar to hasport's/innovative's 60a or 62a?

well i havent felt the hasport. But it does feel stiffer than stock. I like the hasports mounts but at the time it was a impulse buy lucky i did cause my front driver was broken

I'm more inclined to buy these since they're a full set whereas hasport is only 3 mounts for about $400. So confuse. Decisions decisions. Can you say you're satisfied with the hardrace mounts?

i just did the ESMM inserts, had for about 6months or so, and use car as daily. Vibrations not too bad and will settle down. obviously not in the same league as hard-race, but they were 40buks
