DC Sports Ceramic Coated Header for 94-01 Integra RS/LS/GS
The DC Sports ceramic-coated header replaces the restrictive cast manifold on ’94–’01 Integra RS/LS/GS models using a 4‑2‑1 layout — four equal-length, mandrel-bent primary tubes that merge into two intermediate pipes before converging in a single collector. This design promotes optimal exhaust scavenging: it times the reflected pressure waves from paired cylinders to improve mid-range torque between roughly 3,000–6,000 RPM, smoothing throttle response and enhancing real-world drivability.
Unlike a 4‑1 header, which tends to boost peak horsepower at high RPMs but sacrifices low end grunt, the 4‑2‑1 configuration broadens the usable powerband. It delivers more consistent torque across the rev range, making it an ideal match for daily-driven B-series engines. Plus, with its compact two-step merge, it often fits more neatly under the chassis, preserving ground clearance. Built from corrosion-resistant, hand-TIG-welded T‑409 stainless and finished in high-temperature ceramic, this header keeps exhaust pulses smooth and your engine bay cooler, without drifting into race-only territory.
Features
- Immediate gains you can feel – broader mid-range torque and a crisper top-end pull
- Cooler engine bay – the ceramic coating sheds heat, guarding hoses, wiring, and your intake charge
- Street-legal confidence – 50-state C.A.R.B. EO compliance means zero inspection worries
- Built to last – CNC-machined flanges resist warping; double-welded seams stand up to years of spirited driving
- Perfect match for bolt-on builds – pairs flawlessly with stock or aftermarket cat-back exhausts and intake mods
Whether you’re carving canyon roads, hitting an autox, or just want that classic DC Sports header rasp, this upgrade delivers proven performance without compromising daily drivability.
