Honest opinion on DC Sports headers - 5/2/2008 7:12:17 PM    dfeat01 Posts: 67 Joined: 10/6/2007 Status: offline Does anyone out there actually HAVE these installed in their car? I mean I've heard people say their expensive and they break easily but do any of you who say that actually have them or your just talking about what you've heard from mouth of mouth? I have a buddy who said he had these on his EVO and he liked them but upgraded to some titanium ones. Whatever the case may be im stationed in California right now but my car has a Florida registation. I smogged my car once to get my new base stickers. Now I know california is all liberal about this CARB bulls*** but that doesn't apply to me because I'm not registered here. So if you guys say that DC Sports sucks and their not worth $300 then what would you suggest? What brand and finish would you recommend and do you currently have or did you have those installed? Let me know. So far I found some DC Sports for $305. _____________________________ 2001 Accord LX 4 Cyl Sedan AEM SRI 2.25' Magnaflow Exhaust w/ custom piping TIEN Basic Coilover Suspension 1.75" drop Panasonic Touchscreen Head Unit (2) 12" Infinity Reference Series Genesis HID kit 6000k More 2 come...

I put a Megan header on my H22 if that tells you anything. Ive had it for a few seasons now, it's holding up well.  DC is so much because you pay for the CARB exempt thing. _____________________________ CD5Tuner.com - 5th Generation Accord Online Community 94 Accord Mugen SiR Sports Sedan (in reply to 19Accord97) Post #: 4

I felt that the SS would hold up better over the long term and the CARB sticker would keep me out of trouble during annual inspection. No leaks, no runs, no errors, at about three years usage. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to Velocifero) Post #: 5

From all of the reading I have done, it seems most people who don't have to have a carb sticker always go with Megan or OBX since they are so much cheaper and are fairly problem free (OBX do have issued with the gaskets they come with though.)  I haven't got a header because I don't want to lose any low end torque. < Message edited by 00AccordLX5spd -- 5/5/2008 8:28:30 AM > _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX Sedan F23A1 5spd -Short Shift Adapter -eBay SRI w/ K&N 1995 Accord V6 Sedan AT - AKA "the money pit" 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible - my daily driver all through college - now sits in my dad''s garage - needs a little TLC (in reply to RTexasF) Post #: 6
