I'm just looking to improve power without making noise and am considering installing header.I've just ordered a j's intake however I don't want to change the exhaust as I don't want noise. Have you guys just installed headers to your stock exhaust and if so which ones did you use and did they help? my car is an ek4 (b16a2)... thanks

many aftermarket headers will bolt up directly to a stock muffler and catback. there will be gains but not as much as a full exhaust system. my advice would be to order something like xforce headers. there are a few performane mufflers u can buy if u want it quiet such as the twinloop muffler which will allow u to run a full exhaust system with decent gains and still stay quiet

If you don't want noise why are you getting a J's intake? Assuming you mean the whale-penis style? That's loud isn't it?

I agree with saikou27. There's not really any point in having after market headers unless you do a full front-to-back exhaust setup. Once the exhaust flows through your headers it will just get restricted again at the cat and cat-back.

You could get a 2.25'' setup maybe? They're not too loud, especially if you're not thrashing around everywhere :)

j's is loud but with over 40% open throttle.. i dont want loud exhaust coz i have problem with the police in my county.. i am thinking for itr jdm 4-1 header 2.5'' or dc sports 4-1 2.5'' header..can i inastall these headers to my stock exhaust system??? you have anything else to suggest?? for exhaust i am thinking about apexi ws but later...thanks

I agree, stock exhausts save heaps of hassle. :thumbsup:

If you purchase a header with a 2.5" collector it will NOT bolt on. You will have to have a 2.5" flange welded to your OEM catback. It can be done at an exhaust shop.

The noise coming from an intake is nothing like the noise from an obnoxious exhaust. A lightened flywheel would do more for your car than a catback IMO.

I had a aftermarket header on my B16 with OEM exhaust, still was pretty quiet.

You could get a header with a 2.5" collector, install a 2.5" high flow cat and just have the cat adapted to suit your OEM catback. It would yield the most gain while still retaining the OEM quiet exhaust.

Hope that helps :)

True, but I still don't think there's any point unless you're doing cat-back too.

What's the legal max decibels you can make? Surely you could get a 2.25'' system that would be driveable, no?

And if you want to stay under 40% throttle mostly and are driving around the suburbs where cops will pick on you for exhaust noise then you should probably stick to 4-2-1 headers as they give better mid-range power and general driveability whereas 4-1 headers are more for top-end power ---> in which case you would also want a cat-back to optimise that top-end gain.

just get a oem ek9 exhaust
its stainless and is close to 2.25"

that will be good enough for what you want it handles 135kw to your little 118kw

if you want it to rev a bit better, i would get the jdm 4-1 you mention with either a jdm 2.5" cat

everything can bolt up

or you could get ek9/96 itr headers/98 spec itr 4-1 headers , jdm 2.5 cat , ek9/jdm dc2r b pipe and use your existing ek4 muffler

all this can be fitted at home with some basic tools

since we're on the header/exhaust topic, a question for the wise.

apart from exhaust noise, to my underwstanding aftermarket headers will also increase noice level is that right? ie, keeping everything standard, but changing to an aftermarket headers noise will still increase?

What Lan said Kev. I had my Edelbrock 4-2-1 on my B16 with only an EG4 pee shooter cat back. Still hella quiet but at high revs it was noticably louder, it sounded sorta tinny. I like it though lol, I miss those days :zip:

Get a nice header for your Del Sol ;)

thanks 90LAN.

and Trav, it has a no brand aftermarket header with stock everthing else atm. so im considering stock it all out. have got an audm dc2r header lying around. but i presume some might say there's no point chucking on the dc2r's?

any negetives about a b18 header on b16?

egSi
02-01-2010, 02:08 PM
Word. Ditch the crap one and rock the DC2R one man. You may have to mod your OEM cat with a bigger 2.5" flange. Im pretty sure the AUDM DC2R header collector is 2.5", i could be wrong though. If its only 2.25" it should bolt on. Maybe someone can verify?

Gains or losses would be minimal either way I think. With the DC2R header at least you could rock the OEM heat sheild if thats what you want :)

90LAN
02-01-2010, 03:23 PM
aussie dc2r headers are shit the collector is only like 2inch

throw it away theres a thread on this already

get a good set of jdm/usdm 421 with 2.5 inch collector

dougie_504
03-01-2010, 08:10 PM
Too big IMO. B16A doesn't really have much torque and I think 2.5" would only make it lose some of what it has down low.

2.25" for B16A if naturally aspirated

will all know it doesnt have torque
you dont drive vtecs in that rev range

if you use a good 421 header and not some thing cheap

you will be surprise how it feels

he is actually talking about the header not the cat back

dougie_504
05-01-2010, 02:54 AM
Fair enough that he was talking about the header and not the cat, but I don't need your points on torque and headers.

I use RS*R 4-2-1 headers on my EF8 and Holley 4-2-1 headers on my EH9 so I know that it can feel nice with a non-egay brand.

If you read my previous post you'd see that I was recommending that he use 4-2-1 header as opposed to 4-1 headers because he'll be driving around the suburbs and therefore won't be sticking to VTEC all day, will he?

But if you're going to be doing daily driving then you may as well have 2.25" 4-2-1 headers to retain as much low-end power as possible, otherwise you'll just be slugging around in peak hour.

2.25 are just as easy to source as 2.5 so why wouldn't you make it a consistent size throughout the whole system?

because the oem jdm 2.5 inch is a bolt on application for most jdm exhaust so no need for any modification
the header area is where you make the power having a 2.25 inch cat is too small in my books
so no need for any modification
i notice you dont lose nay low down torque with the right setup
or you must have a good butt dyno
try a 2.5 inch cat you will be surprised

I put JDM 4-1, and JDM DC2R cat onto my stock audm ITR catback, modified to fit. All restrictions were cut off and widest diameter piping were welded in place of the restrictions.

I noticed improvements basically through the rev range. VTEC was louder.

Now i've had it for a while, it feels like normal again. Look at my thread in the Integra section (search by my name) and u'll see the diff in audm dc2r headers VS jdm dc2r headers.

Will a JDM 2.5inch cat bolt up to the OEM catback on a EK4 in australia? Or in my case an EM1?

I am leaning towards negative. The JDM cat is too short compared to the aussie cat. also the flanges look the same, but the bolts/holes dont line up.

I faced this problem on my dc2r.

Have you considered a full 2.25" system with a decent sized mid muffler and a twinloop finishing muffler? Would be much less restrictive than a peeshooter stock system, sound heaps better up high (not tinny) but still be very very quiet when you want it to be.

at stock itr height they are not too low

it had to do with emissions,noise, and fuel ron with the tuning
and plus honda australia always gives us the shit stuff

so all low cars sports cars with not much clearance are warranty claims
especially the exotics

jdm itrs are too low for aus height, they are lower than 100mm to the ground

no exotic is here that isnt 100mm, do you want me to walk down the road with a tape meaure and meaure the v12's rear muffler to ground clearance in the valley lambo dealership? take a pic perhaps lol?

barely counts as scraping, point made, I call bs on driving wheel tucked thro there

stock leaving queensplaza itd bash like a mofo, only used sunnybank as an example as most cant relate to further destinations

OP just aim for a system that lines up with the sump being the lowest point of contact and try your best not to mod the height of the stock cat as on the EK chassis it's the point of failure in normal road use (shopping centres, new home driveways in tightly built estates, etc etc)

I do take pride in seeing some of Australia's best work on my car knowing its done right when I havent the time to do it myself, I think that's fair enough

when my engine dies (or needs work that justifies buying the long block I require) I will put the headers I got made for down the coast on it :) s/s 4-1 design so ya know when you see them :) I will geta press bent cat back system as it will do its job like this one has for 6yrs running now without a fault to speak of :)

I do take pride in seeing some of Australia's best work on my car knowing its done right when I havent the time to do it myself, I think that's fair enough

when my engine dies (or needs work that justifies buying the long block I require) I will put the headers I got made for down the coast on it :) s/s 4-1 design so ya know when you see them :) I will geta press bent cat back system as it will do its job like this one has for 6yrs running now without a fault to speak of :)


your engine wont die its been looked after by the best in the business in australia at a cost lol
any way where's those pics of your exhaust
you posted them up ages ago ?

back up what you claim

Sorry Ryan but you're a ****ing idiot if you think a jdm itr has a lowest point lower then 100mm.

I an jdm itr suspension in my car and it was atleast 150+mm from the ground.

Honda has obviously toned down cars for exporting another good example is the jdm dc5r.
We never got brembos, stiffer suspension, etc.

Now I try to be semi-civil with you but really, you're just dribbing shit now.

dont hate on the business man, my exhaust guys have done fine by me

and with the hourly labour included with materials and people on staff with over 10yrs expirence its a good value combination

why do you hate on the shops soo much lol?

what you pay 350, so thats made up of profit % needed to run the shop/bills, etc, material, time(labour), its a pretty ok deal, beats doing it yourself and buying a pipe bender, welding machine, safety gear, material at per metre prices, training, etc etc

because every custom cheap job is just a waste of time
doesnt do anything for the car

just a money spinner for them
i bet if you dynoed your car back to back with the stock exhaust
you would say i just wasted my time and money
but still would love to see this exhaust
with its nice welds

I dynoed it and it did get minimal gain, as expected from a very finely engineered motor from Honda

there are alot of shops out there that do present some very nice work locally, I found one that does a good job and has been since before the Civic series was even around and have been in the same addy with the same family running the show

was it the same shop that built the hi powered fiat race car you brought to the dyno day that made 56kw atw's

i had the JDM 4-1s, in by ek4 they sat just 1-2cm below the sump.

If you run the stock lower heat shield it will protect against any bumps in the road.

They were the best fitting header i could get and worth the bang for buck. I'd still be running those headers if i didn't have a boosted car.

Go JDM 4-2-1. Best option, even if it will mean a minimal gain with stock exhaust.
