hey i was just wondering if i could get some input on some good headers for my civic. im new to the site and need some help here, this is my first car i have even attempted to make "fast" i guess. but if you guys could help me out it would be great thnx

 

DC Racing Header is a good investment.

And FYI, On a four-cylinder vehicle it is a "header", not "headers"

 

GFD

 

How much do you want to pay?

Bubby Club is good - $775 - No Cat
CT Engineering - $505 - Uses Stock Cat
Invidia - $605 - No Cat
Megan - $149 - Uses Stock Cat
Skunk 2 - $800 - No Cat
Strup - $350 - No Cat
Vibrant - $582 - No Cat
Vibrant - $669 - Uses Hi-Flow Cat
DC - ???? - No Cat
SSR - $1,300 - No Cat

I have a custom built race header from SSR (longer tubes then the headers above), so I can't speak directly on the others but I heard most people who got Skunk, Buddy Club, and Vibrant have been pretty happy.

 

Hytech is supposedly amazing too...another custom made header.

 

im not really worried about money, i have a good income, but i am just looking for something that is going to give me the most bang for my buck. i don't want to do something to my car that is half ***'d i guess. if you know what i mean. and sorry for the miss type earlier, like i said i am new to all of this. so i don't know to much. i am hopin to learn alot from you guys. and look already did ha

 

fixed your post buddy ol pal

 

Running the Vibrant header without a cat along with the HKS Sport Ti cat back system. Great performance and not to loud!

 

is there anyway you can show me a link to where i can look at vibrant header, and the HKS sport Ti cat back system?

 

go to 8th civic . com there are a million and one threads about this.. I've heard the S2 header was pretty good.

 

cor sport.com is a good site to look at aftermarket products.

 

Living in California, and not being able to touch my CAT...am I wasting money on a more aggressive header?

well you can get a header with a cat, or get the defouler, which is what i have (doesnt throw a CEL), but im not sure about your laws in cali, but from what i hear its not good lol

 

well if you absolutely wanna stay legal... get the DC... decent gains, nothing like BC, s2, hytech, ssr but not like rediculously off unless you flashpro.

if you got smog hook ups... skys the limit. s2 is really good for the price. very good gains across the board

 

I have the catless Vibrant with the HKS Ti Sport cat back and have had no problems with the CHP yet. Noise is not an issue and the cat back doesn't attract to much attention.
I have had problems with the CEL light and no O2 bungs have helped. I've tried the small one as well as the angled strup. When I get the Flash Pro this problem with no longer exist.

In 4 years when I have to re-smog, I'll simply put the stock exhaust system on, re flash to stock, pass and then put all the good stuff back on. The price for living in Calif!

 

I like your username.

 

No aftermarket header is really street legal until OBD-II cert. The DC has no cat, that's an autofail in truly street legal in all states. Most inspectors really don't care and look right over it, unless it's Cali and they only allow stock or CARB cert. cats.

 

Vibrant headers kick ***.....

 

the dc isnt legal.
but i had that header and its a good bang for your buck.
just like with any header, you have to let it break in before you
really feel the difference.
but now im on the s2rh and its absolutely amazing

 

get the invidia. 70mm outlet. and its cheaper than s2

 

Try Bisimoto Engineering headers. They fabricate custom headers.

 

try not plugging your company.

ooooooooooooooooo
im telling!!
jk
im not a snitch.
im loving the merge collectors on the s2rh,
definitely the best quality for a mass produced header.

 

DC sports was a great inexpenisive header that made good gains.

 

i mean vendors/sponsors are here for a reason.
