Using this DC Sports ceramic header is straightforward. Just replace your old header with this new one following the standard installation procedures for your 16 - 18 Scion iM, 08 - 14 Scion xD, or 09 - 14 Toyota Matrix. When installing, make sure all connections are tight to prevent exhaust leaks. As for maintenance, regularly check the header for any signs of damage or loose connections. Keep it clean and avoid hitting it against hard objects. In case you drive in harsh conditions, it's a good idea to inspect it more frequently. If you notice any problems, have it checked by a professional mechanic right away.
