I read that B and D series exhaust manifolds are not interchangeable. I'll probably do a complete b16a swap later on anyway, but for now, i'll keep my SOHC.

What header would u recommended for performance and/or looks (oem or aftermarket) for a D16Z6 and what would be needed to ensure it fits?

 

Any recommendations?

 

What's your budget, and do you want a good header or just something to use until you swap out the D?

 

Am considering budget later, just nothing completely crazy in the $ department. Whats good out there, most avail and what do most ppl put on their ds?

 

i have a used HP racing 4-2-1 header i could sell you......used it on my z6 and it sounded and flowed good

 

Thanks dude, but at the moment im just considering my options. im in australia anyway so it's kinda hard to buy parts. so many ppl have offered me good stuff though, what a shame.

 

The SMSP header is an excellent choice for the D-series, and while it is a bit more expensive than many "off-the-shelf" headers, the quality and performance are superb.

Cool, checked it out, how much hp increase are we looking at anyway?
Any more suggestions?

Not that much of a hp increase.....maybe like 5 hp......But it lets your engine breathe a lot more

 

Lets say i get a pod filter too, and get 3hp increase. Then i get the header with 5hp increase, would that mean 8hp increase overall?

While im at it, how about a better intake manifold, around how much would that increase hp?

 

I used a 99-00 D16y8 stock header/mani, it's like the JDM ITR header for D series, it wasn't bad

 

That sounds sick! I love the itr exhaust manifold. With the d16y8 header, was it a straight bolt on or did you have to make modifications?

 

all d series headers are interchangable, only thing you need to do is extend the wires for the O2 sensor about 12 inches. I got mine for $50 shipped from someone here.

 

Ok, what do most ppl end up getting on their d? is there one thats most popular?

 

dc sports more than likely

 

Just visited an acura parts site but they have no image previews of the dc sports. Is there a better integra oem parts site out there?
Also, what is better between the d16y8 stock header and the dc sports?

thats pricey

 

I saw a pic of the d16y8 stocky and it doesn't resemble the itr at all. Am i looking at the right one?
Heres the d16y8 header on the right, next to the x-force d series header on the left;


Anyone got pics of the dc sports header or can point me somewhere to view it?

 

The only good D header is a Turbo D header. Dont worry about Headers for your D, if you have a y8 then you are set. just put this header money into the bank for you B swap (or something else).

If its just to keep the car running until the swap, then i think even those wonderfull Ebay headers will be a good buy. They´re cheap, reasonably good quality (at least for the first two months ) and make some horsepower. For their proce, what else can you want?

 

You have a good point, maybe i should just save up for the b16a. Uhhh... that means more reading up on all those faqs. I get enough ***** from spending too much time on honda forums as it is.

 

I wouldn't bother modding your D at all if you're saving for a swap.

 

Dammit u guys r right. Seems every good engine pic has a b-series engine (at least the valve cover anyway). i don't want to be left out especially if im gonna upgrade everything else.
Advice taken.
