Help UK Accord owner needing a Header!

[marcusv8thunder]

Hi, I'm from the UK and I'm looking for an aftermarket exhaust manifold for my Accord.

It is a Honda Accord 1993 2.0i 4dr SE CB3 F20A8

These cars here are quite rare now and so parts are therefore rare too

Need some advice on which headers are good and not, plus the more irritating issue of which ones will fit a 2.0i appose to a 2.2i??

And what happens if you put a 2.2 header on a 2.0??

Thanks in advance for any responses

it should fit just fine. from a f22a 1-6

Is your oxygen sensor on the header or the downpipe?

[alb_accord]

i would say dc header because i noticed a good change on my a1 when i swaped the header.


would it fit the 2L engine of yours, hmmmm that is a good question.

Just get a Ebay header and use different gaskets then the ones it comes with. It is the same thing as a brand name header like DC sports but cheaper. They also have a spot where you can put the O2 sensor on the header or the downpipe so you can use either one

I have no sensor holes on my manifold I have a sensor slot on the up side of the down pipe before it goes into one single pipe

Also my engine is a F20A8 so not in the 1-6 category, however based on the pics on this forum it seems there isnt any differences apart from normal variations as there is from 1-6.

So, would a 2.2 header fit on a 2.0 anyone?

If its a f20 sohc motor it will fit mine fit fine with no probs and it came off my f22a1...... oh and its a dc sport 4-2-1 with the sensor in front of the cat.

yeah its a f20 sohc, i was looking at the dc sport header, before i came across this situation. Ok so all it good with the fitting then?

The lack of capacity from 2.2 to 2.0 doesnt mean a need for a change in the header piping diameters then?

And thirdly, how do people rate the dc sport header?

For the money DC Sports IMO makes very good products. If you are set on the DC Header I would recommend the stainless steel model.

fitting no prob everything is the same. (2) no. no cange in piping is needed unless you want to. i changed mine to 2.5inch after the collecter to the cat. gutted the cat (didnt feel like buying a new one at the time it was stopped up)and ws2 cat back. (3) well it depends me i like it. and on the dyno i gained power through 2000 to red line any where from 2hp to 12hp so for me i rate 10 from 1 to 10. oh i think there was a dyno test in import turner about a year ago where they tested every header out at the time and DC was #1 across the board. if im wrong somebody will correct me
