Default what do u guys think of dc 4-2-1 2-piece ceramic headers

this summer i wanna work on getting headers and ive looked at the DCSPORTS site and found out that 6th gen accords' stainless steel headers have been DISCONTINUED

they still have an option for 6th gen accords, which is :

ceramic 2 piece 4-2-1 for about 411 bucks


is this a good choice? ive heard some things about the ceramic cracking but i duno


any other headers i should consider besides dc sports?

dc sports are the cheapest + good name header for accords... they are pretty decent, but if you want a real header go custom...

I believe a lot of people complain how crappy DC sports is.

Check out greddy as another option

i jsut recently started modding though heh should i skip all this i-h-e and go straight into the higher level FI stuff ? haha


so far from what i c DC sports 4-2-1 is like most mentioned header for accord i-4 but if some people say its that bad what r soem other options, there doesnt seem to be much options from what i have looked at

comptech - isnt that more popular with v6?
and im prety sure greddy either doesnt make them for my model

even dc sports has discontinued stainless steel for my gen acccord haha i gues i better get them before they discontinue the ceramic ones :0

hell yeah, forget i/h/e, it doesn't do any good but make your car louder. hinting others that it might be fast but as the driver, there is no difference, you pay 1g for the sound!!! buy a muffler if you want sound. And plus later if you want Turbo, you'll need to replace it anyway, waste a money twice...save a little more and get the Turbo

dc sports headers for the sixth gen are...crappy. I have one on mine and the cating is coming off and it looks like sheit. I would get the powercore header by landspeed racing. better quality and better flow

If you are staying N/A, grab a DC ceramic header off of eBay for a little less than $300. I've heard about cracking problems with the DC header, though. Or you can try, and find a Neuspeed N2 header.

If you plan on getting nitrous, get a Kamikaze header. Best header out there for that application.
