4-2-1 Stainless Steel Headers

[M3tor2nR]

I purchased headers off eBay just for the hell of it and got it a couple days ago.



Now, I took the stock exhaust manifold off and tried putting this on, but to my surprise, it didn't fit. The 4th Runner on the right did NOT clear the A/C line. There was no way this would fit unless I removed my A/C.

I compared the stock headers to these new headers, and right off the bat you can clearly see the difference. The stock manifold has the 4th runner tucked underneath the two middle ones whereas these aftermarket headers are all bulged out after the 1st runner.


Am I the only one who has problems with aftermarket headers because of A/C? It sucks these guys don't specify that it is for Accords WITHOUT A/C.

Are there aftermarket headers that utilizes A/C?

they may have sent you one from a newer accord. or maybe you got one of the wrong trim.(ex/lx/se, ect.) later.

What type G said. Double check the header and see what application you got.

Like they said double check. I've helped install two different ebay headers which were two different styles on two different cb7s with no problems.

Don't you guys ever get sick of thinking you're the cool one that needs to point that out?

Anyways, if it won't bolt up right, its not for a 90-93 Accord. Sure there were two headers, since the A1 and A4 didn't have their O2 sensor in the correct location, but you can interchange the headers if you know how to move the O2 sensors around.

My bet is that they sent you one for a different model. I'd write back to them ASAP.

could be one from an h23. i mean, what else bolts up?
all he said was it hit the ac line. did all the wholes line up?

I installed a OBX header yesterday and it fit snug but it fit and my car is quicker on the up take

lol. I use to be like this back in Honda-Tech. People who said "Headers" I use to bash and say it was "A Header."

Either way, this header didn't fit at all so I'll be ditching it.

How much does an OBX header run for?

Just throw a turbo on there and call it a day.

I'd actually recommend Megan. They have 2.25" collectors (my friend's gf measured hers) which is bigger than the DC Sports one. So unless OBX is that big also, its possibly the biggest collector you can get on an off the shelf budget piece.

I ordered this same header a few months ago.. same problem. They returned it no problem (minus the shipping charges). I then decided that a header doesn't do much with stock exhaust the rest of the way back.

First off, I highly doubt its stainless steel coated with chrome, its probably just chrome, I know my megan header was finicky when i put it on, it just needed to some tlc to fit on properly.

Yeah I got the obx racing headers 4-2-1 and they fit pretty snug. However I like them.
