Default Ordering headers

guys i have a 2000 civic si. im looking to get some headers soon.

i came across the website k2motor. are there products any good. as far as headers go?
there very cheap so i was just wondering.

also if that doesnt work out i want to spend money a dc 4-1 header. what would be the best place to order them from*legit*. no ebay.

can i just dcsports directly?

****, hit up the marketplace before you make your decision. I got a damn near new dc4-2-1 from a fellow ht-er for 75shipped.

There are killer deals daily on these forums just search.

It's a header. Not headers. Your car has one header.

Anyways, I've never heard of that brand. I'd go with a more reputable brand or check out the marketplace here like the guy above me mentioned.

hey appreciate the responses so far, keep them coming.

Also quick question. I have a greddy cat back exhaust. the dc header is about the same price as the greddy header and i would like to get the greddy ones BUT Greddy only has 4-2-1 and i would prefer to get 4-1. keep in mind this is for street purposes so i dont want to delete the cat

If it was me I would go to the all motor section/forum and see what those guys are running. Find out what is making the most power difference although it probably wont be much on a stock motor.

i could be mistaken.

But i think unless you're building an all motor monster, that a 4-2-1 will suit you better. B16's are all top end power. 4-2-1 should give you a TINY bump in the mid range area.


But, im no guru.

that is correct. 4-1 is perfect for a a screamer. gives good top end with a sacrificed mid range (great for v-tec models) but a 4-2-1 will give you better mid range power but sacrifice some top end (great for non v-tec models)

whats in the () is mainly my theory on headers according to personal exp though

If you decide yo get a DC header check wiht the plack to see if they have it in stock I was just recently in the market for a new header, I was going to get a DC but no online sites had any because DC sports got bought out and they were all on back order with no ETA I got my Greddy SS header from Nolimit motorsports. Check on those too because I was also searching around and some stores said those were on back order too but No limit was able to get me one plus thye had great customer service.

hytec is the way to go.


If you wanna spend 450 plus, on just a header.

Completely not worth it unless its an allmotor build.
