Default 4th gen headers

Any brands that are good other than DC and Greddy?? What kinda gain should I expect? I did a search and didn't find anything about 4th gens.

If this is with a DX/LX F22 engine that you don't have any plans on turboing the engine, you may want to get accord EX headers they use a 4-2-1 style (DX/LX use a 4-1 style). Best part is you can probly get them for dirt cheap from a junk yard :thumbup:

If you already have the EX accord the best option is to add a DC sports header. They work great and, made of stainless steel and allow for freer flowing exaust gases then even the stock ex headers will provide.

If I'm not mistaken the DC Sports headers are almost the same diamiter as the EX headers. Of course EX headers wouldn't have the same bling factor under the hood

If u already have an EX model don't bother with headers the gains are too minimal for the price.

So I realy wouldn't get any gain at all since I already have an EX? Should I just go with a high flow Cat and a Cat-Back in that case?

3 inch exhaust is worse than useless...it's harmful...the loss of backpressure is too great...if ur going n/a then get 2.25" in exhaust

I think eventually I might get headers...when I get more money to do more serious stuff...like when I'm trying to squeeze every bit of horsepower I can out of that engine.
