honda civic headers
 
Hey, guys I'm new in the honda performance world. I am interested in buying a new set of headers for my 1998 honda civic LX (SOHC, NON-VTEC) what is the difference between buying a set of expensive headers from DC SPORTS, and one of the cheap ones that they announce at e-bay, is it just the name or it really makes a difference. They both have the same 4-2-1 design. Can somebody please advise me on this one.

First of all, [sm=welcomesign.gif] to HCF. [sm=groupwave.gif][sm=groupwave.gif][sm=groupwave.gif]

Secondly, you only need to buy one header for your Honda. From all the talk on this forum, I believe there is a difference in the quality, fit, and ease of installation between an eBay and brand name header. The most common suggested header is the DC Sports ceramic coated 4-2-1 header.

absolutely yes. there is a HUGE difference in header quality. dont waste your money on a cheap header. just stick with DC or Greddy. they are a sure bet.

the only difference in the headers is the welding of the piping and the crome painting will wear off and change colors faster because of the heat. thats all, it's still gonna be a 1.6 piping straight to the bottom and the curves are the same.
