Default Whats up with DC Sports Headers JDM Type R?

Do these fit the GSR Integra's. I tried looking on DC Sports but could find much info. Anyone seen the Dyno or heard Anything about them? Better than the regular headers?

good for higher hp n/a applications...some modification is involved though as they have a 2.5" collector

I heard they were a lot like the JDM ITR header with the 2.5 in collector, only they looked better, were cheaper, and made more power. I believe the JDM ITR header has dynoed with results as high as 8hp... to put them on a USDM car you need to either get a cat with a 2.5in inlet and outlet, or a 2.5 in straight pipe like the one godspeed has. I think there is some other stuff you can do using some donut from an acura legend maybe? I dont' remember, I read about it somewhere.

Well Honda quality (OEM) is gonna be excellent. I have owned 2 SS DC sports headers and have LOVED the F&F and the Quality. The DC JDM header has slightly larger primaries I believe and I will be Purchaseing it to compliment my JUN head package.

As slowerthanu mentioned, DC sports makes quality stuff... but there are a number of people out there who think that no aftermarket part can match the quality of an OEM honda part. But when I originally said that, I was meaning cheaper as in cost. Personally I would have no problem putting a trusted name like DC on my car. Asides from that, the DC looks like 50 times better, especially if you get the stainless steel. Allow me to demonstrate.


DC Sports


OEM Honda

The great advantage to the JDM type-r header is smog control and sleeper ability. What I mean is those fancy heat shield's. They allow you to 1. hide the header from the smog police and 2. hide the header from the Dumb kid in a bone stock GSR.
