well i called a shop today to order a DC Sports 4-1 header and told'em my car and engine i have 90 civic with a SOHC vtec and he said the 4-1 wont fit with the stock cross member. Is that true???

 

It should, you might need a tiny notching.

I never needed to mess with my X member with a D series.

I've dealt with both, on my own car I had a 4-2-1 header but other cars i've worked on yes a 4-1.

You might needa nick the X member or not, it really varries car to car. I've had to slice most of the front X member to fit my B series in, while i've also done cars that only need a wee smack.

 

I put a dc sport header off a 2000 hatch on my CRX and I had to beat the cross member in about a 1/16 of an inch so you should be fine
