Yaris owners now have TWO awesome vendors from which to purchase the DC header!!!

NST + MI = FTW

how difficult is the installation?

cali yaris · 08-11-2009, 05:33 PM

It's not difficult and uses regular tools. Reaching behind the motor to get at the bolts is a little tedious but doable. Better if you can get up in there from underneath as well (for the two bolts that connect to the midpipe.

Got Mine. Can't wait to install. Hopefully this adds a little juice!!

I see that the Megan header comes with a new gasket (at least it's in the picture), does the DC?

cali yaris · 08-12-2009, 04:20 PM

The DC does not come with a gasket, but the Megan does!

OK, so the DC header has free shipping (plus I would need to buy a gasket), the Megan does not have free shipping, so shipping and sales tax (uggh!) in CA. to 95747 for the Megan would be how much? Still trying to decide...

This may be an early b-day present to myself.

Thanks!

Agreed. You can tell just by the pics/design that the DC is a waaaay better header.

kngrsll · 08-12-2009, 04:33 PM

you can reuse the gasket just fine.

Just look'n at your web site my brutha! Other items say "Free shipping" or "Free shipping on this item!", just not for the Megan header.

bikegerm · 08-12-2009, 07:06 PM

So do we or don't we need to purchase another exhaust gasket from toyota when we install the DC?

Herbicidal · 08-12-2009, 07:34 PM

I suspect that would be the correct course of action. The mating surfaces may be slightly different and it's probably cheap insurance against leaks.

Well... if you bought it, you'd see there was free shipping on that too.

but I do thank you for the catch, I've added the extra text now!

cali yaris · 08-12-2009, 08:06 PM

I personally would never re-use a header gasket, but that's just me.
