Would header for DX be worth it
I was wondering if a ractive header for a 96 civic DX be worth it right now i have exhaust and i have intake along with blaster coils and msd blaster caps and some other minor stuff like that. Would it be worth getting the header for it or would it be so useless that i would just be wasting my money and time? please let me know thanks

Ractive= poo
Header for dx= not worth it
Think of it this way, you have one of the lowest line engines honda made. Not trying to be an *** just letting you see things in my perspective. The engine you have out of the box isn't very powerful to begin with, by adding this header and maybe some more bolt ons, what are you hoping to acheive? At most you will produce the numbers an EX puts out which is also slow. Just save the money for either a better engine or put it to something more useful like suspension.

my case in point...........
93 DX HB, added a Stillen 4-1 header before the AEM intake for $249..........
NO CHANGE!!!!!!!
It still ran a 16.1 on street tires. I was pissed at the time. But since, the header has proved it's worth with other mods.

as for the 1/4 it ran a 16.3 @83 and it was pretty hot out. to install it took couple hours, damn rusty bolts and parts, put it on ramps and had no air tools. it consists of ex header test pipe Ex mid pipe and ex rear section(5 zigen style). it sounds good not all raspy sounding. we had to extend the 2nd O2 sensor to reach the test pipe. id say a 16.3 with a 1.6 SOHC NON vtech motor isnt to bad and i still have room for improvement. it was on street tires also. if you need more detailed info just e-mail us
