Yah, I have Searched, and found nothing. Do any of you know if the Tanabe B16 Header are any good? if it will clear the oil pan or not? I know for a fact that I have to mod the cross member a lil bit for it to fit perfectly. I would of bought DC header but now a days every person has a DC header. I need some solid info on this header before I go out and buy it. Thank you in advance

Everyone has a DC header because it's good ****..
Ive seen them beaten up and dented from bottoming out..but still not leaking..
Ive never heard of a tanabe header but if it's for a b16 then why woudnt it clear the the b16 oil pan..??

 

Dont get me wrong I have nothing against DC header I just want something different.

Eh, dc .... good for while till they start to rust out...

Im sure that your going to need to run a aftermarket crossmember in order for the header to fit.
Or you could just bang/cut the **** out of the stock one.

 

Tanabe is very good quality, i'm sure it will work great. I would say its probably one step better than the DC (which is very good) in build quality.

 

tanabe makes strong, well welded, rust resistant products. one of the few companies i trust to make decent products.

 

Thanx for the input guys

 

i have my stainless steel greddy and love it, 4-2-1 clears the crossmember and oil pan fine

 

I love my SS DC 4-1 one piece header. Only thing is even though it's SS tubing on the runners, it's got a mild steel flange on the head and thats rusted to ****. But I've had no problems with any of the DC headers cracking even from hitting speed bumps or from steep driveways and denting it. If your worried about being different why did you get a civic? Now thats about original as you can get
