[timot_one]

I'm not sure how much they are.  I'd guess it would be anywhere between $25-$50.

Slightly off topic, but regarding noise from the header.. I've had my flex pipe swapped out already, which made it somewhat quieter, but the thing is still loud, it's especially noticeable when driving next to concrete dividers, or walls... and don't even get me started about the noise when driving through a tunnel. I wasn't expecting it to sound dead quiet, but how loud is too loud? I'm not sure what the threshold is for normal. My only other guess is that those crush rings on the down pipe are screwed, or the stock gasket I reused up top (I guess you would call that portion the A pipe?) is no good, or... perhaps dc headers are just kinda loud when driving next to large solid objects... Any ideas?

They're a little loud, but if you've reused your gaskets, that could be where your noise is coming from.  Replace the gaskets, they're not that much money.

do you have a torque dampner on the engine...like an ingalls stiffy?

In my opinion, and what Ive read in researching, is that the ceramic cools quicker......I havent had any issues with my ceramic header.........and honestly....if your worried about how your header(s) look, you are doing that upgrade for the wrong reasons

Hey guys. I want to get one of these for now, I'll have the money soon.

What I really want at the moment is mostly power over sound. I've been told dc headers and a y-pipe would give me more power than magna but still good sound.

Theres a shop on b20vtec that will sell me dc headers for my car for $300 and ill look up the y-pipe.

Magnaflow, I can get it for $400 at a muffler shop I live near by.

Just want you genious's to give me ideas on what to choose right now.

Y pipe? You plan on going dual? Or are you talking about an exhaust cutout? I'm not sure i understand that part of your question.

Anyway, as for the header, DC really isn't the way to go due to the flex pipe issues they have. If you could put money away for a better piece i.e. Comptech, you'd be ahead of the game. Just think of what you'd pay for the DC plus the multiple flex pipe repairs you'd have to do later on down the road. That should help with your header decision.

Thanks crackerteg, ill do my research on he comptech

Which headers do you mean Z?

I don't see any listed for the k24 Accord on the site.

[CrackerTeg]

Its possible the one Jon (konatriathlon) has on his car is for the TSX. I haven't done any research on it as I plan on going F/I. From what I've read elsewhere, the header will bolt on with no problem its just a bit longer than the Accord header/ exhaust manifold and the exhaust has to be modded slightly.
