I have a 1995 Ex Coupe. Are headers really worth me getting? What kind of HP will they actually give me? And does the brand really matter? I can get some off eBay for like 165 ceramic coated or DC's which I assume are the best for about 250...

Thanks!

 

you already have a EX so you don't really need to get a header. DC's or anything else wouldn't really help you...unless you had a DX or LX like me save your money

 

:stupid: the ex comes from the factory with a header, not the restrictive ass manifold that the lx/dx comes with. don't waste your time.

 

Whatever you do, don't buy a ceramic header. Everyone I know that has them has had them crack after about 2 yrs.

The biggest advantage of aftermarket header when you already have the EX 4-2-1 design is actually weight savings. Our cast iron headers are very heavy. The SS tubular headers are much lighter, but also louder.

I am planning on keeping my EX header and having a muffler shop cut off the restrictive 1.7" collector and replacing it with a 2.25" or 2.5" collector.

btw - all aftermarket accord headers have these restrictive 1.7" collectors as well so you can't get rid of it by buying a DC Sports or sumthin else.

 

I would by a Greddy header for a few reasons it's SS,it has larger primaries than DC, and better quality.

I do believe a header on an EX Accord is worthwhile after other mods are made. I felt the car pull harder after about 5,000 rpm with my DC header.

 

Was that true of the 93 EX as well?

 

pretty sure
