Default JDM dc vs. JDM 4-1

tried searching.. but came up with 0.

Rob "search ****" keep quite

all i am interested in is which header would make more power on a stock setup .. and which would be better to have on the car once i start moding the car.

they are both around the same amount of money so lets leave that factor out .

thanks for the help guys....

I know that the DC makes power but, the ground clearance is teh suck.

Can't go wrong with OEM Honda or the price.

It's been a while but I think I made 7whp more with the JDM DC 4-1 open header vs. the JDM ITR 4-1 open header. Average was 4whp across the band. The DC header does hang lower though.

I don't recall ever seeing any direct comparison graphs between the two, but perhaps one will turn up. However, the fact that the DC Sports version has larger primaries, no inner welds on the flange, and a larger/better collector should allow it to out-perform the Honda piece.

If you don't plan on getting it tuned, what's the difference?

From Blueteg on Team-Integra

" They're actually more different than people think.
JDM DC Sports - 45mm primaries, primary tubes are stacked on top of each other "2 x 2" at the oil pan, 2.3" ID collector, unobtrusive welds at the head flange, collector design and contruction flows well, available in ceramic coated or stainless steel. Skid plate is not available for this unit.
JDM 98spec ITR header - 42mm primaries, primary tubes are staggered for better ground clearance at the oil pan, 2.1" ID collector, extremely obtrusive welds at the head flange, collector design and contruction is poor and has many spots that appear to restrict flow, only available in the uncoated steel. Skid plates which bolt to the oem heat shield locations are available.

The DC unit is really a copy cat of the more expensive Mugen 4-1 header."


Specs are better than "Yeah, I put it on and noticed mad gains!". It's better than "I gained 7 whp" also because that means nothing. Peak numbers are just for bragging rights. You want a header that will give you a nice broad powerband to go along with the gains.

I'd say get the JDM OEM 4-1 mostly because of fitment. OEM fits perfectly, while the JDM DC hangs below the oil pan AND angles up, making fitment with the cat/exhaust to be... lets just say not as good as the jdm oem.

chris - who has owned both and was very unhappy with the jdm dc fitment.

I went with the oem 4-1 just because of the skidplate.

I've never seen the fitment of the JDM R header, but I can understand what you're saying about the DC JDM hanging low. I've had mine on for about a year and 3k and I haven't had any problems with it scraping anywhere. *Knocks on wood*...but yeah, they both perform almost the exact same, so if you can get your hands on the OEM R one, get it.

The price that RJ is selling his for is very very good.

Heatsoak? Tuning? I've seen dynos do back to back runs on the same car and get 4 whp difference...that doesn't really hold much water.

Agreed. The Honda ITR 4-1 does have it's advantages over the DC Sports JDM 4-1, but performance is almost certainly not one of them.

This "header" is only $550, you'll make more power with it than any of that JDM crap
