I have an 04 civic DX sedan "auto" (converting to an EX setup) and

want to know which set-up would be better. I would prefer the 4-2-1 setup

because that would be more practical for daily driving with the low-end

and mid-range gains. I'm just worried that it mite crack if i lower my car in a few

months or if ceramic loses its finish quickly from weather and what not.

I would appreciate to hear any input.

errr... ur headers already match your car's needs perfectly... u will LOSE low end, not gain it. well, if u get the EX swap. so, if u Daily drive, get the EX swap in there and call it a day for the header.

if i was you, id just get a bigger down pipe... it LOOKS like its 2.25, but its double walled and is actually only 1.75... sucks...

also, whether its ceramic or SS, it's gonna look like shit in a few years anyways.

except Ceramic won't wont look like a gay rainbow hugging your engine...

also, i do believe that both headers are 4-1... the pictures are always 4-2-1, but if u read it or buy it, its one piece that connects to ur stock down pipe.

at least all the ones ive seen.

DC sports does make a 4-2-1 race header for our cars. Honestly Deathstar i would do a tranny swap if i were you b4 you mess with bolt-ons.

yeah the automatic lags but its not really practical for me to do a tranny swap, if im doing any swap it would be a k20 way down the line haha, but i doubt, just buy a new car, anyways so the dc 4-1 stainless looks like the one i wana go with, the 4-2-1 race header is proly gona give me alot of trouble because i live in california and it wont pass smog with it on/

Does any one know if the dc 4-1 is only the upper section or the full top and bottom?

upper

Yeah cus im going to be connecting it with a random tech hi flow cat (downpipe version) so hooking it up to the DC 4-1 upper header will be fine?
