Default DC Sport 4-2-1 Header, what gasket to use?

Alright, I got this great deal on this header. Brand New never installed DC 4-2-1 header.

I got it for 100 bucks, but the thing is that NOTHING came with it, just the header.

Do i need a gasket between the header and the motor? i have never installed one so this will be my first time. How much will one cost? Can i use hondabond? is that good to use for this?

I will be doing the install after I get my highflow cat in. does carsounds highflow cat sound good? i can get them for 65 shipped. is that a good price? after i get the cat I am going to get a custom piping put in when i have all the parts

if you never seen a header before

4-2-1 one piece...hmmmm

Worms of Wrath!


$100 well spent!

i dont think you will unless one of your friends goes and sells his teggy and has a new header never installed.

Just re-use your stock manifold gasket. It's what I've done multiple times, that gasket lasts forever.

dont use hondabond on the manifold/head contact....it will just deteriorate from the heat......just re-use your stock metal gasket, or you can just head over to autozone and pick up a new fel-pro for like $11

My set-up = DC "JDM" 4-1, Carsound 3" Cat welded to 2 1/2" piping. The piping used to be on a Type R with the stock muff, but I got a 2 1/2" Magnaflow muffler welded on Everyone asks if its the stock exhaust, just somehow louder

Looks like a GS-R DC header to me....it will not bolt right up to the cat of your stock LS motor exhaust setup. Then again you are gettin a custom cat/exhaust install. You just have to use the stock gasket and ur set.

My setup: ITR AEM 3 Inch CAI, ITR DC 4-1, Carsound 2.5 to 2.5 piping, to 2.5 magnaflo resonator, to 2.5 magnaflo oval muffler painted black
