JDM DC5r headers on AUDM DC5r

[MrThanh]

jsut get whatever is cheaper. i doubt the difference would be neglible between the whiteline and the jdm items

[DC5R]

whitelines front n rear ar boths 24mm thicker........should have better performance

If you only drive ur car on the street....get EPs front and JDM rear....since they are not as thick....but it you going to see track then you may wanna to consider whiteline over anything.....but at the end it all come to personal preference.....so its really up to what you like better...

OK, bump this one up!

Finally got my JDM header installed today, the JDM Cat has a larger pipe and sit back more, so I had to cut my custom catback and flange to fit. Got it done at Performance Exhuast at Northmead with a reasonable price, Hakan did a abosulte fantastic job, he also extended the O2 sensor wire for me. .

EP3R sway bar is also installed, thanks Chi for the bar .

First impression, exhuast sound changed, deeper roar less farting. (auto always sound like farting to me... but i live with it) Test drove around the workshop in SS mode, definitely better acceleration at gear 1, 2, 3, still a bit of lag but much better than stock. I noticed the engine is reving faster on each gear as well, I accidentally redlined twice in gear 1. hoho... Happy with the result .

Second impression, driving back home on M4 in AUTO mode. At low speed <60km, tranny is downshifting more frequent than stock between gear 2, 3, 4. It's holding less time on a gear and downshift to give more power. At high speed over 100km, feel more torque at low rev than stock, and definitely more smooth acceleration over the whole power band. Couldn't test the top speed, cop car on patrol.

Overall I'm impressed with this header, great value for money, the added low end torque really improves the drivebibilty for a daily car, definitely a must have for any auto DC5 out there.

Cheers
