LCE Headers

Wow, someone stole your motor and left a coffee table.............

 

Hahaha trying to save weight

 

are the LCE's bolt on or weld on ?

 

Bolt on

 

Installing after work today!

Did anybody notice any increase in mpgs?

 

I didn't, just low end tq and high end power

 

Yep no change to mpg

 

Still waitin on mine to come in the mail....

 

OK.. so I attempted to install the header last night but it got dark earlier than expected and I live in an apartment complex with no garage so I had to call it quits. I reassembled everything that I had taken off, which only happened to be the air intake and a few bolts on the heat shield and the other stuff right above the heat shield. So this morning, I checked the forecast and we are supposed to get heavy showers today so I was like fuck this I gotta do this some other time. Went out to double check everything was plugged in.. All hoses and everything else is properly plugged in. I plugged back in the battery and attempted to start the engine just as a double check in case I needed to go somewhere.. Everything turned on fine, but smoke started immediately coming out of the engine bay so I turned it back off. This was alarming, but I am assuming there was some debris from the rusted bolts that got onto the stock manifold. The smoke was coming from under the heat shield. What do you guys think about this? I don't see what else would have caused the engine to smoke from the limited amount of piddling I did yesterday. I'd like to just not drive it til I put the header on but I dunno how long this weather will last

 

Did u spray anything like wd40 or bolt buster on it? Sounds like the motor us just burning something off

 

yeah, i think the wd40 was burning off the header. Pisses me off tho, this weather is BS I cant get anything done

 

I'll be waiting to hear how it went. Looking to get an LCE header as well. So far I've heard good things. Looks like a pain to install though

 

Not a pain at all. Easily done at home with basic hand tools.

 

Ordering Street Header, Pro Flow Exhaust, Tune up kit (spark plugs/wires), and intake tube from LCE tomorrow after I call them and see what kind of package deal they can give me. I'm excited (for my 93, 22R-E)

 

I noticed you have an auto 2tr. How is it with the LCE header? Most reviews I've read are from people with manual so they're usually in higher RPM while we rarely ever go above 2500.

 

I actually have the DT header. The process of installation is the same so that's why I said it was a cinch.

The DT header has given the exhaust a little bit deeper note but not really a noticeable gain in power. I've only had the header on for 2 days. I just got through with a 4 month ordeal with DT. I wish I could get the LCE header but here in CA, that would mean problems for me.

 

Finally getting a chance to install the header
. Is unplugging the battery Necessary?

 

Here it is my friends
Seems to have helped a little bit on the low end. Not a night and day difference. My muffler does sound slightly different now, lost some of the rumble at idle and now has more of a constant tone.

 

Beautiful! How was the install? Did you have to take your intake out? Battery?

 

You have to take the intake tube out, not the filter/box. It went ok. It took me longer than expected but mainly just due to the two spring bolts where the header meets the exhaust piping. That was a huge bitch because I was only using a ratchet and could barely get a good angle on the bolts. Other than that it was a pretty easy install. Worth the money in IMO if you can install it yourself
