You may want to considering returning or selling the DC header. I have two friends that put DC headers on their cars and both of them lost close to 12hp and 8tq in the mid-range. The factory exhaust manifold on the Prelude is actually quite good and allows for good flow. Just my $.02

Well he wanted to change the whole exhaust system. Also the DC header came with the car when he bought it. We won't be doing it ourselves...Or I should say myself.....Since I know how.
He just got back from Iraq and has the cash to pay a shop to do it....(He wants peice of mind)
I could install everything but the V-Tec controller but he said no.......(must not trust me
)
But With the look of the car outside it will be a very nice sleeper when it's rollin around town.....
He is in a couple months doing engine work with Cam Gears, Ignition, Pullies, Etc.....But he's satisfied with the Factory H22 for right now...
He just bought the car a week ago....

Like I said above, my two friends ended up losing mid-range power after the DC header swap. The peak numbers stayed the same, but no matter how much tuning we did, we couldn't make up the big power loss in the middle. I wish I still had the dyno plots ... it was ugly in the middle of the curve.

I have DC sports 4-2-1 header installed on my 93 h22a1....I love it. Now,I cant say that i've dyno'ed my car, but myself and 2 other of my friends/fellow car entuisiasts could all "feel" a significant gain throughout the power band...
Shivers, do u have the dc sports header on you ride? or are u just relaying information that you've heard?
