Is this header any good?
I got this for free with the car that I bought, the dude just threw it in with it and said he had no use for it. I'm pretty sure it's a DC Sports model, but I can't find anything about it anywhere on the internet, partially because I don't yet know where to look.
I was wondering if it's in decent enough shape to keep, and if I could use it on my engine (D16Z6), or if I should just get rid of it.
If I do use it, I have a few questions. On the stock header, I see the spot for the O2 sensor to connect to, this one doesn't have it. Would I be missing something where the O2 sensor should go?
Be easy, I'm just getting into Hondas and am learning my way around by reading and listening to anything I can

you only have the 4-2 piece, and not the 2-1 collector.. so you pretty much cant use it until you obtain the other half or get it custom fabbed (which isnt worth it)

Fairly common design. Better than stock, but not "good" per se. The O2 bung would usually sit right at the collector which is right before the flange at the cat. As mentioned, the lower half containing the secondaries and the collector is absent, and as such it's probably not worth much (if anything) on the used market.

Re: (Kendall)
So should I just stuff this bastard in a closet and not worry with it? Just invest in a brand new one with the necessary pieces?
I was considering the DC Sports 4-2-1 header seen here ( http://www.raceinspired.com/pc....aspx )
I plan on eventually building this engine with turbo and such, so if this header that I've linked isn't any good, feel free to point me in the direction of one that may be.
I've also got to replace the exhaust, as the one on there currently is a crap OBX that I'm pretty sure was just thrown on there without any knowledge as to how to properly do so.
