Got a '00 Civic CX, stock D16Y7 with Buddy Club spec II exhaust. Wasted all my money on the exhaust! Lol So now looking to see if eBay headers any good, or if I have to save up! Also getting a Skunk2 intake manifold. This is what I'm looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-00...Q5fAccessories

 

For 35$ , I can almost guarantee it will not fit worth a ****....IMO you would be wasting more money if you bought anything else for the d16, just save all that money for the IM and all the other bolt ons that you wanna buy. Your not gonna see any noticable HP gains from that stuff without other major work. Just keep saving until you have enough to buy an engine swap...LS swaps can be had for cheap these days

 

you get what you pay for.

 

unless they have gotten better in the last year or so...I bought a header off ebay no namer and when it came in the outside was ok but the inside welds where like a 1/4" high and it was all messed up....My stock headers ended up being more open though the pipes lol

 

doubt it, wish ebay was more reliable tho

 

haha lol E-bay cheap parts are as that....Their is only a couple things on there i have gotten that i liked....CIA,battery relocation kit, sturt bars,other then that name brand used items like auto meter, Exhuast ECT....

but it helps to save a buck but most the time the parts are not worth it

 

Don't buy performance parts on ebay. It cheap stuff and it will break down soon. Don't complain when it broke down because it "CHeap." Not all stuff on ebay are bad. Just depend what you buying.

 

Ok that's a no on the eBay headers then. Any know what headers will fit my sohc and my Buddy Club spec II?

 

well i got a set of 4-1 headers from ebay when my other ones got messed up and so far they seem to be just as good haven't had any problems with them

 

i bought a 4-2-1 header off ebay for my d16y8, and they work like a charm, fitment to the cat was a lil off but i fixed that

 

there ok but if u wana go get sent 2 the state reff go for it

 

I'm not looking for seriously huge HP gain just a clean sound, but the few HP gain is cool. And as for getting a swap im just thinking on building my motor and going turbo.

...Also I guy told me that I'm better off keeping my stock header and taking it to a muffler shop to make it fit my new exhaust. He said somthing about since my car was a CX it had its sensors up on top so I would trip out my ECU runing only one, unless I add another O2 sensors hole. He also said that that were my exhaust comes out of the motor and connects to the header was a bit bigger. And that my headers would do good with the exhaust because they give more power in mid RPMs and after market would not give me it till high RPMs... idk??? Any and all advice would help!

 

the header that you goin to get comes with a spot to put the sensor, and it will be fine, no point in takin to a shop to do, its real easy

 

 

in most cases yes, but not with everything

 

I bought some headers on ebay for my ls, it didnt fit the cat, so i sold it... I thought about taking it to the muffler shop so they could cut it off and weld it back on so it could fit the cat, but nah, ill just save up for some real headers

 

I got some off e-bay for my 95 accord EX by a company called ZR Racing and they are really actually pretty nice I have had them on for about 6 months and no rust and on mine all the welds were ground down on the inside and fit perfect. all in all they are pretty sweet for $91 shipped

 

Mines a '00 CX though, has two O2 sensors up top.
