You sure it's not a gasket problem, I have the same DC SS header and I have no problems.

You only got the Megan header 'cause that's the one I have. :rolleyes: Copycat. :p Yeah, mine doesn't make that "hissing" sound. Who's installing it and how much?

I'll have a spot near my house do it.
If not, I'll do it my self. Extremely easy and it's getting warm out so I can now put my cardboard down to get on the ground

Yes, I got it off Ebay

Yeah, the one on the car is the DCS header.
I've heard a couple of other people who've hade the same problem.

Problem I
Problem II
Problem III
Problem IV
Problem V


Well I hate to break this to you but that header on your car isn't a DC at all, there's no badge welded onto it signifying that it is a DC. The badge should be welded onto the cylinder #2 runner. That header on your car looks more like the one Vibrant makes.

As for those "problems" you listed.

#1 - was a fluke
#2 - was a 02 sensor problem, nothing to do w/ header
#3 - was a J30 - DC doesn't make a header for them
#4 - Guy is an idiot
#5 - Another idiot

Not trying to be a dick or discourage anyone from buying the header, just giving some much needed info to clear some things up.
