Hey guys, as the title states..im looking into purchasing some headers for my D16A8..however im not too sure whether or not D16Y1 headers fit on my D16A8. Are all d-series headers interchangeable regardless of twin cam/single cam/vtec?

Ive tried searching the forums, and on google...couldnt really find the answer to it.

So if anyone knows whether D16Y1 headers will fit on a D16A8, that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

same PORT STUD pattern.......


but....


port size on the d16a8 is larger. IF you get a d series header chances are You will have to slightly machine the header ports to suit your d16a8 head. Use a OEM exhaust gasket on the header to get the port right.

Also , there is a chance the under sump pipe/s might have an issue with the slightly different sized d16a8 sump.
