I was wondering what to get for headers. I have a 95 civic Lx, I have been looking at the dc sports 4-1 ss and ceramic headers. But not sure if this is the right choice of brand or type, so any input would help thx.

 

the ceramic is cheaper than the ss

 

are the dc sports dec or are there other brands that i should be lookin into?

 

DC sports are probebly the best quality header for the price. but there are better ones out there, comptech makes a nice header, but those are mucho dollars.

 

if i get the new headers, should i also get new O2 sensors or just use the stock ones?
anything else i should replace?

 

When I put in my DC 4-2-1 ceramic header, I couldn't get the old O2 sensor out of the old crappy stock iron exhaust manifold; it was stuck in there. Luckily, I had a new sensor anyway since I was changing it in hopes of fixing a little CEL problem (and yes it fixed it), so you might want to get a new sensor. I like the ceramic header. I got mine used on ebay for about 120 clams; just had to have some modification done since the previous user apparently welded the header to a test tube. As long as you're not competing in a car show I say go with the ceramic; they're cheaper, I think they're lighter and they do the job. Just don't wrap em or paint em cuz I am told that will mess them up if they can't breathe and dry off et cetera. I think 4-2-1's (low and midrange gains) be more beneficial to you than 4-1's (more top end hp), but I could be wrong and I don't know what you have planned and already under the hood.

 

SS.........ceramic looks like crap after awhile

 

Ceramic cracks.
SS bends.

 

What manifolds bend? I don't think I've seen that, I've seen SS crack before though.........

 

ok
thx
