IIRC, Spoon doesn't make a D-series header. Looks like someone took the Spoon plate off of a B-series header and tack welded it on.

here its says they made one
is this source reliable?

"Spoon Sports 4-2 header:

As you can see, this header is the top portion only of a 4-2-1 design. It is apparently compatable with a stock 2-1 downpipe (which can be cheaply and easily modified by any reputable muffler shop to feature any collector size you want). The primary merges are long and smooth for a 4-2 design, suggesting very minimal restriction to flow and velocity. But at $677 U.S., is it really that much better than the other 4-2-1 design headers in this group? To a JDM addict, maybe."

All Spoon headers have a JASMA certification welded to it. The pics you have there are only half the header, where is the lower section???

Re: D series SPOON SPORTS HEADERS... legit check?
 

Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't they make one for the ZC before? Or maybe even the DOHC ZC?

Re: D series SPOON SPORTS HEADERS... legit check?
 

That would be one of the best welding jobs I have ever seen. LOL I may be wrong, but wasn't the first Spoon Civic in the 70s/80s using a DOHC ZC motor?

yup but they didnt have retail parts for customers then, all headers were sold for B's

Re: D series SPOON SPORTS HEADERS... legit check?
 

As mentioned before, it's only half a header, kind of useless imo

I used to have one for my b series. Sold it in favor of an Edelbrock which was even better made, and made more power!

Re: D series SPOON SPORTS HEADERS... legit check?
 

Well said, useless without lower section and I'd have to say it is 99.99% a fake.

I just welded a DC header CARB plate on my DTR header and it looks as good, if not better, than that.
