yeah i guess i have been makeing a big deal out of it, been under alot of stress lately trying to figure out when im moveing and if im going to this school and w/e. thanks
The metal gasket that there talking about Mkymonky is inbetween the headers and the downpipe, atleast thats what i have with the ones, its a small copper peice like such
so there's actually a gasket that goes there? because i didn't get one with my headers either and the guy i bought them from said he never had a gasket.
i guess, i dont know about on other headers but on these paceseters, that gasket came along with it
oh, but me and monkey are talking about dcs headers. at least neither of us got one with our headers. and i don't think that copper gasket will work for us either. here's what the dcs headers look like:
secondaries
primaries
Doesn't look like it needs one I mean a flat gasket.
I think I see the 2 rings.

yeah, they're in the secondaries. they're part of the header too so you don't have to worry about them falling out and disappearing.
well what rings can i buy? or just i go with the pacesetter gasket if i can find one?

yeah there completly diff. looks like the rings are allready attatched on your secondaries, built in perharps? pacesetter probably cut corners to cut price. by the looks of those dc's it has a good seal, might not need one. but i have no clue
yeah, and from the looks of that gasket and then my pix, i don't think a dcs header and a pacesetter header will bolt up to each other for the 1sts/2nds. it'll have to be a cut and hack job and so by then you'll probably lose any advantage the dcs header has over the pacesetter.
does anyone know the specs on the bolt for the dcs headers that goes between the primaries and the secondaries? thickness, thread depth, etc.

well i just installed today, talk about you get what you pay for, my car has a weird rattle now when its at a light mayby the 3 main bolts conecting the down pipe to the headers lose?? dont know, it could be my radiator aswell as i couldent find one of the rubber mounts to put back in the base. i noticed when i got back from the test drive 2 of the pipes were glowing orange? wtf?? is this a good thing or no? it was night so that helped me be bacle to see it
oh yeah the old manifold got thrown away along with the downpipe and flex pipe, so theres no return, unless i go get it from the dumpster now
lol thank god you outbid me....yeah i cant wait to get my damn DC hearders....that would be the shit....oh yeah i also got a 2.25 cat with a magnaflow muffler...it just needs to be installed...yeah i heard that the header hits the front crossmember and that is what makes the rattle and you will have to shave off a bit off the crossmemeber

ahhh allright, i will look at that tomarow, i truely didnt know i was bidding against someone else on here, if i woulda known i probably woulda not bid. but there were sitting here, and i had allready got them re-welded, so it was like "install them now or never install them wich also ment not installing the high flow cat either becuse the old pipeing was very past time to be changed and was rusted together,
The rattling is caused by the pacesetter downpipe hitting a crossmember in the engine bay...
Get the car up on a lift and you should see it.
You'll have to nick out a piece of the crossmember to keep it from hitting. Funny thing is this doesnt happen in all cars... Only some.
Alas, no more 3gee. She was a wonderful car and will be missed..
No more 92 hatch either! I go through cars too much.
90 CRX
should it be fine to drive like this? i wont be able to get it up on the jacks again for about 3-5 days
yeah, chop your crossmember. and does anyone know the specs for the bolts on the dcs headers between primaries and secondaries? because my car is sitting on jacks and i can't drive it till i get it bolted together because it attracts too much attention to itself. either that or i have to put the stock headers back on.
Take the header to a Honda dealership. They'll sell you the bolts you need for the header. Worked for me. They'll also hook you up with the proper crush gaskets too.Originally Posted by snoopyloopy
My collection: Stay tuned! (04/02/2009)
about how much would they run me from the dealer? because i got some bolts from the hardware store that will work just as well. if anyone ever needs to know so they can pick them up on their own, they're a 10 mm bolt with a 1.0 pitch. get whatever length you want.
allright well i got the peice cut out and well it still has vibration, i think the hangers on the muffler are up agaisnt something on the back end so ima check that out tomarow, it seems to be really really bad right at 2,000rpm's i thought mayby my trany is screwing up but dont know. i will check the rest of the pipes for hangups someplace along the pipe
ok well tomaow ima lift it back up and check for hit marks along the pipe, i think that were the downpipe bolts up to the bracket just behind the oil pan is hitting aswell. can this be choped or is it needed?? are there any other known places anyware that could be hitting and rattleing
ok i got it lifted back up and just as i thought the bracket that hangs down behind the oil pan that holds the downpipe is slamed up against the side of the oil pan, can i take this out or is that a bad idea? anyone else have a problem with this bracket??
i see nothing....
im guessing a pic would help? um hold up i will post one in a minute just gotta grab the camra
you cant see it to well but the black part of the bracket (coverd in old oil and dirt) is resting on the oil pan higher up, can this just be choped out or is that bracket needed?
