i have a 98 civic ex(D16Y8) coupe and want to get headers. What do u guys recommend? Also what do u think of Megan and DC Sports for headers? Im leaning towards 4-2-1's...

 

DC sports.


Do you plan on swapping engine in the near future?

Hell no DC Sports header units are complete garbage. These units crack and they provide almost none to very minimal gains over stock, this has been dyno proven. What's your budget??? I would suggest getting a good header for 500 or more. One that you will see the difference and feel the difference.

DC Sports
Megan Sports

 

SMSP, if your budget allows.

 

Lots of factors. Gains you're looking for? Future engine plans? Bling factor? Clearance issues?

EX: I can't use 4-1 because my car is too low, etc. Always a lot to keep in mind.

If you want a header for the sake of having a header, and are gonna do DC or Megan, they'll provide minor gains, bothing nothing that'll be worth it. If you plan on ever boosting or swapping, is there even a point in getting a header? If you actually want a N/A or supercharged D series that will require a good flowing header, there's plenty of performance driven ones.

 

your not goin to get much gain off a d16 anyway why spend 500-800 on a header?

i already have short ram and exhaust, so i figured header was next step. i dont plan to do much more to it except for maybe pulleys or small mods like that. im not looking to spend that much, just wanna get a little more power for cheap. also my car is lowered with not a lot of clearance.
