DC Sports 4-2-1 Honda Civic Header Install | SOHC VTEC Sounds!

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

4-2-1 or 4-1?! There is some slightly incorrect information when I’m explaining the header design. This particular header is a 4-2-1 with a one piece design versus the old model 2 piece style 4-2-1. There is ALSO a 4-1 design that wasn’t available at the time I ordered this one. I hate putting out incorrect information so just wanted to clear it up that this is a traditional 4-2-1. I guess my eyes and brain just weren’t working that day. Regardless, enjoy the video!

[@andregonzales7711]

You should look into a goautoworks turbo kit for the D-series! Cheaper than a swap and FANTASTIC quality, I personally have a 98 ex sedan, as a college kid, this is gonna be the way I go!

[@hondothehonda4759]

I PUT THE 4-2-1 DNA HEADERS ON MY 94 ACCORD AND SHE SOUNDS MEAN! I’VE DEFINITELY NOTICED THE SMALL GAINS, I HAVE SOME EBAY COLD AIR INTAKE, AFTERMARKET EXHAUST AND RED PAINTED CALIPERS WITH SOME RIMS FROM LES SCHWAB TIRES, ITS STILL SLOW BUT ITS NEAT TO SEE HOW MUCH DISCOUNTED AFTERMARKET PARTS CAN MAKE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE

[@spankthemonkey3437]

The d series can make alot of power with just pistons rods and eBay turbo kit. No where have I found that cheap k series swap that was cheaper than building a d series and turboing it. Once done with the swap you still have to get turbo and hondata or something equivalent to program the tune so cost effective to not swap if all your looking for is about 500 hp.d series have been pushed to 900+ hp and low 9s and high 8s. Now if your looking for a maximum hp na engine and not on a budget then yea swapping makes sense. But if your looking for big power on budget build the d

Removing cat will definitely give it that little push it needs to make it a night and day difference but it will throw check engine light on stock ecu. I think vtec cracks good on your motor due to it being very healthy. Usually more work out motors don’t have that aggressive of a crossover. But K is always the way.

I understand what you're doing here, but the ONLY way that I could make my single cam any fun was to boost it, and then it was alot of fun. It didn't make much power on the stock internals, but it was reliable, it was fairly fast (it would beat modified WRXs and Mazdaspeed 3s at the strip), and the turbo made it so much more enjoyable to daily drive. I eventually swapped in a fully built LSVTEC and it currently makes 612 whp. My Civic is a 1997 EJ8 coupe.

Lsvtec was always a goal of mine as a kid. I love Frankenstein motors!

[@haqitman]

I've got a 92 Si that I added that same 4-2-1 one piece DC Sports header to, did about 2 years ago. My experience putting it on was almost identical to yours, down to the scratches. Totally worth it, though. More response and pull. Also it weighs nearly 25lbs less than the stock cast iron manifold and I swear the front end feels a little more responsive in turns. D series engines are a great combination of performance and efficiency and I have no desire to swap mine, it's just too good as it is.

[@thatloudCG5]

It's cheaper to boost the D series than to swap it. I've looked. A forged bottom end is $500 WITH pistons from Speedfactory and you're going to want to use the no notch forged con rods. By the time you swap it, boost it and all, you would have spent K series money. A turbo D is the same price as an NA LS-VTEC on high compression.
