- A D-Series Honda Civic with an intake, exhaust, and header is the textbook example of cheap Civic fun! So today we install a DC Sports Ceramic One-Piece Header to see if the butt dyno notices a difference! VTEC Engaged!
The year is 2021 and we are still installing headers on D-Series Honda's. Life is GOOD! haha! Installing a header on a Civic is nothing new to the world, but does it really make a difference? To find out I teamed up with DC Sports to install a One-Piece 4-2-1 Ceramic Header on my D16Y8. As a kid, I remember installing my first DC header on my D16Y7 (non vtec) along with intake an exhaust. However, it's been so long that I forgot what that actually felt like. So this time around on my SOHC Vtec motor, I wanted to see if the addition of Vtec was more noticeable with a header. To my suprise, it did make a subtle (but noticeable) difference in power and sound. My Yonaka Catback exhaust produces a deeper growl and my crossover is much more noticeable!
Now I know many of you are wondering, Anthony why are you continuing to modify the D16 motor? Well, as much as I would love to swap the car TODAY, I'm trying to make the most of the motor while it's in the car and make content that's most relatable to YOU! In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy 40 mpg's and plan out exactly what I want to do. All good things come with time right? Anyway, Thank you to DC Sports for letting me relive a bit of my youth and beautifying my engine bay!

4-2-1 or 4-1?! There is some slightly incorrect information when I’m explaining the header design. This particular header is a 4-2-1 with a one piece design versus the old model 2 piece style 4-2-1. There is ALSO a 4-1 design that wasn’t available at the time I ordered this one. I hate putting out incorrect information so just wanted to clear it up that this is a traditional 4-2-1. I guess my eyes and brain just weren’t working that day. Regardless, enjoy the video!
This man’s relationship with his slow Honda is beautiful.
“Good enough for the girls I go out with” lmao that was good
Turbo soon?
Yess!, D16Y8 all day! Thanks man for showing Love on the d series, you’re pretty much the only guy on CZcams with a Honda stock motor on your ek with bolt ons the rest pretty much have b swaps lol

Man I love this build so much it just keeps getting cleaner and cleaner.
Man your way of installing things is so refined. I could never be that cautious. Love the content bro. Keep it up!
I liked before i watched i already know this is gonna be good.
I love the D-series build. I’m currently doing the same so this is all helpful to me
I just found these Civic Vlogs you've done here and it's so much motivation for me on my 95 Civic
Watching the civic build get better and better is so amazing that I wish I still had my D series. Can’t wait to see what you do next on it keep it up man.
As usual, you come through with great content. Thanks for giving me ideas.
Just bought an del sol ‘98 with a d16z6, altough it’s a bit different, all your videos will help a lot to start working on it. thank you for your effort!
I had headers and an intake on my 2002 EX manual and it was such a great daily driver I could drive at a high percentage of its capabilities and be a at pretty much legal limits. Now I have a stage 2+ b5 S4 and I’ve gotta get 20 miles outside of Seattle to even appreciate it... slow cars driven hard can be much more fun from an every day perspective.
