i'm wanting to get headers for my d16y7. but i'm not sure who to go with or what type of header (4-2-1 or 4-1)

i'm not in the position to do a engine swap or anything right now.

so why not work with what i've got.

 

4-1 is for top end power, 4-2-1 is for low-mid power. according to the newest hondatuning magazine

 

4-1 header design has lower ground clearance.performance wise like 2redstars said. on d series n/a setup, not really a big different

 

so is it something not worth going for?

except its gonna be super duper loud.

 

on the y7 its a good upgrade, gets rid of the cat in the stock header. breaths alot better

 

is it a nasty sounding loud. or something that wont sound like a POS?

 

not really loud .if u have stock exhaust.

 

wont he get a cel if he takes the pre cat of

 

who should i look at for a 4-1 header?

You also have to get an EX cat and shortened exhaust. Dont run without a cat.

Instead of buying a header for $50 on ebay, save up and buy a D16Y8 for a couple hundred bucks. That would add 20hp by itself. The potential is also better.

Or buy a Y8 or Z6(preferred) transmission for a couple hundred. WAY better mod than a header.

 

what would i need to do if i were to get a z6 tranny?

i have a d16z6 and i use a 4-1 dc sports header, that works for me.
you could ebay it, but you get what you pay for, you know.

if im not mistaken... just bolt it up. change or resurface the clutch and flywheel but other than that. thats all

and a 12 pack

 

lol sounds good. but i'm 16 and aint got that much experience. so bolting up a tranny with a 12 pack doesnt seem like the smartest thing. sounds good tho.

 

just go to florida classifieds and post that you need help with a tranny swap and someone will help you out.

 

alright. thanks alot

glad that you guys gave me some advice. i was waitin for some d*ck tellin me to just search.(which i'm still going to do)

but thanks

 

but where's a good place to look for a 4-1 header ?

bottom line, if your aching for a header for your D. Buy a used header, i've seen and sold D-series dc sport headers anywhere from $80-$150.

Good place to buy used headers? ebay, craigslist, HONDAMARKETPLACE....

 

to be honest, on a d series motor, a header isn't going to do very much. matter of fact, headers highflow cat, intake, and exhaust wouldn't do much. d-series besides the zc don't really respond well to bolt-ons simply because the are sohc, the zc is the only dohc d-series motor. but if you must have one, don't let me discourage you. it's your car, do what makes you happy. everyone told me don't worry about an intake, it won't help, but i love my 2 extra hp and i sure love that sound when i accelerate. anyways, i would search for a used one on ebay, or go to the h-t marketplace. as for the tranny, if you need help, let me know. if i can find some time i don't think brandon fl is that far away, maybe i can help, just swapped mine for an si tranny not too long ago. not hard, just a lot of work and a lot of kicking things.
