DC Sports Ceramic Coated Header for 02-06 Acura RSX Type-S
Slip more power, smoother VTEC engagement, and cooler under-hood temps into your K20A2 with the DC Sports ceramic coated header for 02-06 Acura RSX Type-S. Hand-TIG-welded from thick-wall T-409 stainless, this 4-1, equal-length design replaces the restrictive cast manifold with mandrel-bent primaries that merge in a race-inspired, CNC-machined collector. The result? Faster scavenging, less back-pressure, and dyno-proven gains in mid-range torque plus high-RPM horsepower—all while staying 50-state legal under CARB EO D-370-14.
Why you’ll feel the difference
- True equal-length, large-diameter runners sharpen throttle response and let the engine rip cleanly through VTEC.
- Inside-and-out ceramic coating (rated 1,200 °F) slashes radiant heat to protect plastics, hoses, and intake temps.
- Heavy 3/8" flanges, precision mandrel bends, and back-purged welds deliver leak-free durability mile after mile.
- OEM-positioned secondary O₂ bung and factory-style two-bolt flange bolt up to the stock cat, A/C, and emissions gear—daily-driver friendly.
Built for enthusiasts, designed for the street
Whether you’re autocrossing, canyon carving, or just spooling up the on-ramp, this header unlocks the K-series’ signature growl without drone. Pair it with your favorite cat-back and an ECU reflash for even bigger smiles per gallon.
