race headers

[krnsamiam]

I thought that the DC Sports race headers didn't have carb eo numbers and illegal?

Regular DC sport headers are legal but the DC sport RACING headers are not legal... I've wanted race headers for awhile... how meticulous are the state inspections typically? (i live in NC) would i probably pass if i got them?

Ok guys you gotta understand when it comes to RACE HEADER, you dont use the exhaust. You leave it open! Its RACE use only! If you want the best and expensive header. Get the SMSP! It puts down 18-20whp with bolts ons and aggressive cams!

They've done numerous of test on them.

SMSP = teh win

oddly enough, the smsp h22 header has a 2.5 inch collector. I've always been one to think that 2.25" was plenty for an n/a 4 banger. But dyno charts by smsp have proven me wrong.

h22+smsp header (w/straight pipe; as the race header leaves no room for a cat) +2.5 catback = ~20whp gain

I'll go try to find those old charts if you guys don't believe it.

how much louder does the headers make your car sound? i took the silencer off my muffler and i still want it to sound louder

[RSfrankenstein]

if you want real sound take off your cat and dont even replace it with a hollowed out one or a straight pipe. keep the exhaust for looks and it will sound like you have an expensive exhaust

solid point Frankenstein, But if you want some serious noise i suggest installing a blow horn on your roof top. Use a cylinder mount with thrust blots to hold in place. Now, by mounting the horn on backwards the faster you go the more air flow going through your horn. the more air flow the higher the pitch. THe thermodynamics of pitch are fairly complicated. Ill attemp to sum them up so you can choose the type of horn that suits you best. First, fasteners on the discombobulator are frivolous in relations to your thrust bolts, thus decreasing static tension. Second the sylinder shaft adjust ment is only crucial on models before 1996. Lastly, pitch can on be formulated by pressing your ear to the tip of the horn while traveling at 88 mph. this allows for the 15th harmonic to be dynamically stimulated.

that is a little too deep for me. DC sports race headers dont have carb #'s because they dont believe in the law, like steven segal. flippin off police while while they're leapin a wall. for reals tho, DC sports knows whats up they dont answer to NO ONE. they make their own rules they are fuckin DC sports they own sports just like washington DC its the DC of sports ownage. Plus fuck the air resources board, domestic fuckers polute more anyways.

the blow off horn on top of the roof seems like too much work...i just want a louder sound...my muffler has a nice deep tone i just want it louder...btw i notice alot of people using cheap ass mufflers that have a high ass pitched sound like its squealing

lol you actually bought his horn bullshit, dont listen to that looser, hes just screwing around.
