d16z6+ ek headers fitment?

By Honda4life
- Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:03 am #284338 i just picked up some headers from my friend, but they are the stock headers from a d-series ek. Will those fit my d16z6 and bolt up without any problems? Also does our stock headers require a gasket? Also are ek headers better then our stock eg headers?

then yes, they will bolt right up.
use a d-series exhaust gasket and donut.
now you know where DC headers got their design (and why they are CARB legal)

I don't need the down pipe. So my next 2 questions are will they work with my d16z6 since they are y7 headers? Also can I just take the top part off of the y7 headers and mate it to the down pipe of my d16z6 header instead because i really dont want the ugly built in cat that the y7 header has?Sorry for all the questions guys and thank you for the replies and feedback

the stock z6 exhaust manifold uses a 'double' downpipe, not compatable with the y7's.
ebay headers are about $50 shipped. i liked mine.
