header question
I have heard good and bad opinions about the dc sport header. I have heard that they are constrictive and that they are the best flowing outside custom. now if they are constrictive i just heard that if you cut the collector off and weld a bigger piping it will flow better. let me know your opinoins. I have a dc sports but dont want pay for spoon or toda header and I have a b16. thanks for your info

Re: header question (evade this honda)
Depends on what part of the powerband your engine is tuned to. But generally, DC's 4-2-1 are regarded as the best for mid-range/top-end gains. Getting a 2.5" outlet header will sacrifice low-end and will hardly do anything for top-end unless your engine is actually moving that much air, ie. cams, supercharged. Generally.

DC makes lots of different header's, if you want a bigger outlet buy the DC header with the 3" outlet. i have that one and it works nicely!

you cant use a dc header if your boosted they obviously made the 3" outlet for N/A setups.

Re: header question (evade this honda)
I like DC sport but if you want a big collector you should get those e-bay DC style headers with a 2.5 inche collector. I put them on my b-series motor and they come in both 4-1 and 4,2,1 headers for $105 shipped. You can't go wrong with them instead of paying 3 and some change for real DC when the e-bay ones look exactly the same. ( I compared mine to my boys real DC)
