Why do you need headers? Your car requires 2? What engine do you have?

Not sure how current this list is or if some of these headers are still being made.

he's got a d series smartass.

next time you pick up a pair of SCISSORS, try to use just 1.

"look out! deer!" "how many?"

That still doesn't mean he needs headers. If he had a V8 or something along those lines, yeah, he'd need a plural amount.

to answer the question there are many different good brands...search it, i am going turbo so i really dont know anything about performance exhaust manifolds, but DC is an easy find...also all D series should have same Exhaust manifolds AKA headers bolt pattern...

Don't spend over $150 on it IMO. I got a Megan Header for $100, had it for three years and never had a problem.

i got mine used many moons ago. its a 4-2-1 1 piece header for the z6. for some reason, dc doesnt offer a 1 piece header for the a6 engine. fits fine, just the rear anchor doesnt line up. and the o2 needs to be routed back, but its long enough, no mod needed.

Don't get the Edelbrock headers. And yes I said headers. They don't fit correct for **** and no matter what you do they sound like they have an exhaust leak. I will be pulling mine off and jumping on the wagon and picking up some dc's.

Don't buy the edelbrock! Yeah it's cheap right now on summitracing but it doesn't fit! At least not good on a 88-91 civic/crx. Go for the DC!
