Fellow Honda drivers,

I want to install either DC Sports or Skunk2 4-2-1(or what brand of headers are better or more reliable etc...) headers 1.6l B16A2 Si. I have been reading different forums and reviews and I want to get opinions and real life stories. If it helps I am mechanically retarded.

Also if someone could also tell me everything Im gonna need to install it, including everything I need to have headers in my car.

I cant tell you how much I appreciate all your guys' advice!

 

Depends on your power and overall goals for the motor. If you just want to do some basic bolt-ons then pick a cheap one and go with it. Whatever pops up in your searches where people didn't have a lot of trouble installing (since your "mechanically retarded"). If you want to build a serious motor then I would get a custom setup or do some research as to what will yield the most power. It is not that hard to install these as long as you get one that is name brand that fits right. Need a good socket set and a breaker bar. Possibly some penetrating oil to break loose stubborn bolts (exhausts are known for that). Need a jack and jack stands. Need a O2 wrench that fits your O2 sensor (easier to use one of these). Other than that its pretty straight forward. I have a greddy 4-2-1 that works well. Ditching that because I'm going turbo though. B16 don't really make that much power N/A unless you drop some serious money so figure out what you want to do with the engine in the long run. Also get it tuned if you put on a bunch of bolt-ons. Will definietly run better.
