Question for people with DC Header. - Honda Prelude Forum

MyFirstPrelude · 04-22-2002, 12:28 PM

Does anybody know if DC headers for an SH will fit on a base? Only reason I ask is because I plan to purchase from a guy who has an SH and I notices on the DC site that there are two model numbers. One for the SH and one for the Base.

nope. the SH a-pipe is longer than the base a-pipe.

dammit...its a good price too for headers and exhaust $300 but he had an SH. For any socal people that want to check it out lemme know and I'll give you his number. He's in Moreno Valley.

Buy just the header and than try in get the pipe from www.inlinefour.com or DC headers site its self.

I know from experience it doesn't fit.
I bought a DC header for SH off a friend (and he told me it would fit), and as it turns out, the downpipe was about 3 inches too long, so we had to cut out 3 inches, and weld it back togther. So unless your willing to do something like that, just get a base header.

damn thats alot of work you should of just sold them to someone and them buy some that fit your car cause if you were to get it inspected you wouldnt pass since you voided the warranty on the header cause you modified it

i agree, not worth the time or the money to do this. I too had the same problem no, DC sport does not sell any aftermarket part to make it fit.

if it doesnt fit sell it, return it, or trade it for something that works right
