AMK Racing Header - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Good to know about DC not making anymore headers for us, Thanks Garm.

Thanks for the response. I added a quick video and pics to my first post. The video is really quick, but gives you an idea of what it sounded like. It was really loud over only 1.5k rpms :(. It was more like a farting noise like yarissedan mentioned. It was soooo much louder than the stock header. Not sure if you can get a good idea from that video.

I have the TRD Axle Back, so I have a good idea what its supposed to sound like.....

...and that sounds like crap!

DC Sports was acquired by another company and is not currently producing a header for the Yaris.

So it's impossible to get a DC?

You could maybe get a used one

Good luck finding it.

Yeah, this is a short video of only my TRD axel back for comparison

BTW in the header video the high rev at start up was because of the 1zz tb. I disconnected the battery while I was installing the headers so the ECU had to re-recognize the 1zz tb. The middle of the clip is when I put the car in drive, then park again, and then off (thank god

).

i don't know what's all the fuzz about this header cuz i said i had it and it sounds like a normal header and it haves noticeable gains maybe your header came faulty but mine works fine and its the same amk header

cleong · 05-04-2009, 08:38 PM

Plug one end, fill it with water from the other end, spot where its leaking water, get it welded shut?

Oh and did you prise the bung off the stock header because you didn't mention doing that? Its a conical ring around the exit of the header, you need to bring that over to the new header.

Good luck!

Yeah I think he has an axhaust leak somewhere

MANSETH · 05-05-2009, 02:33 AM

Normally, when we change header, sensor will read different CO2 from new header. It could make the ECU calculate different O2 and CO2 for a while.
Means ECU malfunction, take your car for a one day drive then it should back to normal then depends on how good the header is. If your header was not leak.

808_Yaris · 05-05-2009, 03:09 AM

probably poor workmanship on the header? to my knowledge, the welds
could be a LOT better.

eric81 · 05-05-2009, 10:30 AM

I have the same header on mine, and it is loud as hell. I noticed gains in power and in how fast my RPM's go up. Less resistance on the engine means it isn't working as hard to do the same stuff. Any header will make your car louder. The farting noise does sound like an issue though.

eii · 05-05-2009, 11:32 AM

I'll check for leaks later today.

cleong · 05-05-2009, 11:54 AM

Did you transfer the exhaust pipe gasket off the original header onto the header that you bought?

It looks like this:

OH FCK ME. I knew I forgot something. Is it easy to take the stock one off or should I just buy a new collector gasket/donut?

808_Yaris · 05-05-2009, 06:16 PM

it's easy to take it off the stock one
