New header available for 7th gen

[Tkdtim1226]

I was just browsing procivic.com and noticed that DC Sports has a new header available for our car (or what looks like a new one... I haven't seen it before). It is a 4-2-1 2 piece that eleminates the cat. Well I know many people have been wanting one of these for a while, so congrats people. Enjoy.

Yikes and at $400, I think I'll keep my ceramic coated 4-1 DC header.

Nice find though.

for real. I'll go get a meghan header for 200 and still eliminate the cat. then go and get 2 new subs or a power chip for my car with the rest of the money i saved.

The only thing I like about it is its a 4-2-1. I have seen in b series motors that 4-2-1 headers provide better numbers for overall. The peak numbers were better for a 4-1, but not on average. I completely agree the $$ is outrageous. Maybe Megan or somebody else will follow suite and create a little competition and the price will drop.

4-1 numbers were better?? i would think that they would be a little more constrictive than 4-2-1. Is it just a larger collecter or what? or does the b series just respond really well to mods?? i dont have one and dont know much bout them. so i dont know.

No its because the 4-1 header's runners were as long as the 4-2-1 runners. This allowed for a larger volume of gas to enter the header. Since there was more room in the 4-1 header, the gas expanded just a little too quickly when there wasnt as much gas in the lower RPM's, that allowed the gas to cool down and therefore slow down. If they had tested a 4-2-1 header and a 4-1 header like the one shown below, the 4-1 header would show more mid-range gains while the 4-2-1 header would show higher-range gains.

i like my HP one

 

[vjf915]

I was thinking the same thing.......

Hm...Vjf whats up man.
well guys, id pay $400 for that header if i actually got hp, but if im correct we dont have any hp from these, so whats the use?

 

[vjf915]

Nothin man, you?
You probably would see a difference since the runners are longer than the regular header style that us D17'ers are use to.
