Hey people, whats the verdict on these....do you like yours? do you want to get one? Im thinking about picking one up, just thought i would get some opinions first.

Thanks

 

also, if you have the 4-1 or the 4-2-1?

thanks

 

What do you want to know about it? They are an improvement over the stock, of course there are better ones, which cost more. The 4-2-1 is the best.

Just keep searching....it's your best bet.

 

Have the 4-1 "type R' DC headers great if you dont like having a cat lots of top end power

 

4-2-1 ceramics

 

Depends what you want, 4-1 for top-end power and 4-2-1 for mid-range.

 

4-2-1 is the way to go with hondas unless yoru running crazy boost. 4-1 wont do anyhting good for you if you just running the normal stuff

 

4-1 works fine for me

 

You want top-end power when drag racing, so if that's what you're aiming to do then get a 4-1.

 

maybe n00bie q, but why is top end more important in a drag race?

basically the entire time your drag racing its spent in your top end powerband. the only time your not in your top end is when your launching the car in first gear. a 4-2-1 header still gives you power up top aswell. If i were you id save up and get a header thats going to give you more power. The reason I say this is because you want to get what your staying with in your setup. Don't buy something because its low priced now and then want to upgrade later when you've already paid for the lower priced header, installation and the pain and suffering of only gaining 3whp or so. i'd get a better header the first time around and make yourself a lot more happy.

 

I have the DC JDM 4-1, never had it dyno'd since fitting but there is a definite increase in top end power, pulls way stronger at the top end. I got the ceramic one as i was on a tight budget at the time, have had no complaints so far although i have hit the bottom of the header a few times as my car is lowered!

 

Go with a greddy SS

 

I have the 4-1 also, the only thing I dont like about it is that it hangs really low(it is the lowest part on the car now) and because of that speed bumps have torn it up.

another factor
4-1's hang lower than 4-2-1's

 

you'll definately have trouble if your car is dumped to the ground. and your area is filtered with pot holes, etc. you should just save up your money and look for something that'll give you some nice gains. or you could try and save for my Toda header that I am selling, that is of course if its still around

 

Honestly the only DC header worth getting is the JDM 4-1. The standard DC's...well really arent that good.

I personally love a good 4-2-1 header because it makes daily driving much more enjoyable - mid-range torque is good fun. I strongly recommend the Comptech header - it dyno's just as high as a JDM 4-1, but makes significantly better midrange.

Just a thought, naturally this is IMO, but I honestly wouldnt buy a standard DC header.
