- Sun Dec 18, 2011 4:16 am #285827 I'm looking at my options for a SOHC D series engine header. I see this on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-00-HONDA-CIV ... 35b7df5d31

It looks too good to be true. Stainless and under $100. I have read on here that the EK factory exhaust manifold is pretty good. I can probably find one of those around. Which would be a better option? Or just go for the DC or other high end unit? Saving money on this could free up money for something else. Thanks for all opinions..

- Sun Dec 18, 2011 4:23 am #285829 Honestly dude thats just run of the mill ebay crap.

as far as im concerned the best bet on a header is craigslist. you can get decent ones in decent shape for $50 most of the time. and sometimes you can get namebrand (such as DC) for around $100. you can also find them on civics in the junkyards sometimes if your lucky.

I got a(forget the brand) 4-2-1 header that was is perfect shape and even heatwrapped for $50 last summer and I was only looking for 2 weeks

95 Civic Coupe DX - d15b7 - some mods nothing crazy - My 5th EG
98 Jeep Cherokee 2 door - little lift with 31s 4.0 5 speed
77 Chevrolet C10 - Mild 350/350 combo - lowered a little

- Sun Dec 18, 2011 4:24 am #285830 I heard that eBay headers are either a hit or a miss. It's almost impossible to tell, because just about every seller has a different product. Just be safe out there and try to do some research. I'd recommend a better known brand, just for reliability's sake.

- Sun Dec 18, 2011 4:58 am #285833 A one peice header is preferred
ceramic coated is better at keeping heat out
4-2-1 in comparison to 4-1 really isn't much of a differance
For a D Id go for a DC
