Hey i was just wondering if DC sports made stainless steel headers for the h22a?. Ive got a 5th gen with a jdm h22a. Issit worth getting dc headers or keep my jdm ones. My ones have been mangled at the bottom and i fear holes being punched through them soon because my car is like 2mm off the ground..
can you guys help?.. or wat sort of headers are good with a good gain?
cheers

 

its not worth it.
the only diff beween dc f22 headers and dc h22 headers is the flange to bolt to the head.

 

Headers good for all motor but dont gain to much. Try basic upgrades first then when it's time get headers if forced induction isnt the route your taking. Intake, exhaust is typically the first upgrades you should have. Then see about vtec controller and see what you wanna do next

 

its a good idea to run a header if your doing bolt ons...although dont expect that your dc header wont also get crushed like your stock one because of your ride height...plus, dc's are fairly affordable...

 

here is an example of why its not worth it.


take the bottom half of an accord f22 dc header.

take the top half of a prelude dc header.

they fit together just perfectly. my brother in law had a DC header for an f22 and one for an h22, the f22 one had a hole in the flex pipe, so he put the h22 bottom half on the f22 top half for his 90 accord, and it worked fine.

the f22 and the h22 have very different power characteristics....to me that means they should have diff diameter pipes and so on, instead they are the exact same except for the flange to the head....
