I have a question for you guys about the headers they sell on ebay. Theres the DC Sports header (4-2-1) and there's the DC style (4-2-1) which looks simaler but is not quite the same. My question is can I expect about the same amount of performance out of both of them or am im better off getting the dc sports header and spending the extra money?

I would suggest making the search button your friend....this was just covered this week....https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1066203 ...but if you read through there it says there isnt much gain from aftermarket headers on the ex accord...

keep your EX header... itll give you the same power a DC sports header would. hell take ur EX header off and cut off the collector and weld on a 2.5 or 2.25 inch collector or whatever diamter ur exhaust is, or whatever ur going to get. youll see more gains doing that than you ever will with a DC sports header

Don't spend the extra money unless you have other mods to go with it (I/H/E). The DC header would give you some gains if you have other mods. If not the eBay header is fine, and its a lot cheaper.

Well I have the intake and soon the exhaust and high flow cat-converter and if I got the headers dc sports or not would I notice any difference with the three systems working together.....

the biggest difference is quality control.
the quality can be jsut as good or it can be worse. the only other siffrence is DC price vs DC styled prive.

So basically I could get the cheaper and get almos the same amount of performance. They look almost identical. There both 4-2-1..

yes........ the problem with the header market for the Accord is that there has been no R & D for it like an H series or B series motor

so it is just a mock up with cheap collectors and crappy welds, to get power from a header (besides using it with other modifications) you need to know runner length, where the design adds power and cuts power, etc.

basically for the money the piece off E-bay is just as good as far as performance wise, quality is something else

Thanks thats the answer I was looking for.....
