Ya, DC Sports is so expensive it's not even funny, and then on top of it, they give BS dyno numbers, I see they havent changed much since AEM bought then out.

I hope the price will drop because its nearly impossible to sell this header. I mean, its more expensive than the DC5 (RSX) Race header which is a one piece (superior flow).
im not too sure but if you extend an o2 sensor, wouldnt that retard the sensor thinking its getting proper amount of airflow and fool the ecu?
if you are talking about those spacer things for the 2nd o2 sensor then yes. if you are reffering to extending the wire such as supplied with the header than no.

my old d17 set up.

If you dont splice the wires right there will be a problem, but extinding the wires will not retard the sensor. Its electrical. If it was mechancical, maybe, but doub it.
They had to come out with this now. Why couldnt they come out with them in the first place.
The header is probably carb legal, but you need to contact DC Sports/AEM to make sure.

Re: For all those wondering about dc race header!(pics added!!!!)
yes ure right, bud you could add an highflow cat by yourself,than it is legal.
We in germany has nearly the same problems with the legality...no cat -the car inspector says NO GO. Bud i found a guy with an EP3 in our biggest Honda forum who had fixed that problem with a BuddyClub raceheader. Same problem, 4-2-1 Race header and there was no cat. Now ther is an custom welded 200psi Highflow cat on it.
I think it would be the same on our DC Raceheaders, theres enough space for welding a cat between those flex-piece and flanch to Bpipe. I will do it like him when i do
Bud one question. Why is the DC Race header only made for Civic EM2 EX models? What would be the problem on an LX? Not sure if this is valid for EUDM EM2s too?
Re: For all those wondering about dc race header!(pics added!!!!)
the reason why its made for the EX model is because the LX model uses a different manifold/down pipe set up. on the LX, the cat and exhaust manifold are one piece, and it has a longer midpipe that comes off the exhaust manifold.
the EX has the exhaust manifold seperated from the cat, and the cat is located further down, after the downpipe.
sorry if that sounds confusing, but YES, you can use this header on an LX, but you'll just need to get an EX midpipe.
