Question Upgrading my 1990 DX hatchback
Eh all, just looking to see what people have to say about the type of exhaust system I should, should I get headers or not. And any other advice I can get.

Thanks

I have a '91 DX HB, and I got a magnaflow exhaust system, and then DC Headers, its an ok combo to start out with, but you can only go so far with natural aspiration.

It's not ricey, but it does sound a little bit deeper, (not some muscle or anything lol) but the tone does sound a lot better than some cheap coffee can.

Re: Upgrading my 1990 DX hatchback
thats good, thats what I'm looking for. I'm looking at a Speed Daddy header and exhaust kit right now and in the description it says "aggressive deep sound and unique ensures smooth exhaust gas flow", so I hope thats what it is
