So score another victory for elbow grease. I installed a set of DC Sports one piece 4-2-1 headers onto my CRX a couple days ago. normally they run for like 300-ish I think. I got them onto my car for 20 bucks after all was said and done.

I was in the pick-apart yard last weekend looking for more stuff to sell on ebay, and more parts for my turbo project. need DSM 440cc injectors! anyways, I was picking through a new set of cars in importland for goodies off Hondas. an ECU from an 88-89 integra will cost me 10 bucks and sell for 50-80 on ebay or honda-tech.com . not too bad. so my buddy Seth was with me. He was looking over a riced out accord that had seen an accident. rice is the best thing to find in a pick-apart yard since you never know what goodies the owner put onto it. so we pop the hood, and first I check the engine code to make sure it’s not an engine I could use. sure enough it isn’t. then my eyes drift from the engine stamp to the headers, and I see the little plate on the #3 runner with the “DC” logo on it. w00t! the engine was a d-series, so I knew it would mate up alright. we went at it ang got the header off. after poking around there wasn’t anything else I needed, so we went to the exit.

The guy charged me 10 bucks for it. for a perfectly good DC sports header. WTF? I’m not gonna bitch. I like my CRX but there;s no way I’m gonna spend much money on it. so this is great. the flange was cut off on the end so I needed like 10 bucks worth of stuff from auto-zone to get it to fit right. it took a couple hours to get on cause I was squeamish about dropping the fron crossmember. but we did and I got it on. it helped out the top end a little, and the modrange response was greatly improved. all in all it’s much more drivable. and it looks cooler to boot. and anyone who owns a Honda will tell you, that’s what counts :p ! certainly worth the 20 bucks anyways. I still have the stock exhaust from teh header back so I’m sure it will be much nicer when it’s all done. so that’s my story.
