So I'm about to order a DC Sport 4-1 one piece header, high flow cat, and a DC Sport cat-back exhaust...I've never heard a dc sport exhaust on a civic ex? I wanted someone's opinion or advice? I dont care if it's loud...just as long as its not raspy...thanks!

heres clips with my buddies car with a DC cat back we bolth thought it sounded raspey on the low end but sounded good up top, http://youtube.com/user/dustinhollister

o and just to let you know the DC headder has been dyno proven to loose power, just a heads up

My car had a DC sports header back (4-2-1) exhaust before the turbo, i still have the cat-back. Now my wife's EX has the header back. Sounds nice and deep...love it. Not tinny at all.

awkward that its dyno proven to lose power,
never really looked it up but thats definitely new too me

sounds like a gooood set-up but I ended up buying an apexi ws2(which i never got on my car)

Yeah i have read about this before, basically the fact that the 4-1 header is mostly designed for high end power(horsepower) and the 4-2-1 is more for low end power(torque).
When compared to each other the benefits of the 4-2-1 outdid the power of the 4-1

well iono about that dc header losing power...i have a DC 4-1 on greddy evo2 full cat back and (just added an hour ago) injen short ram and you can definitely feel the difference...not to mention the DC/Greddy/Injen set up is very beefy..i love the sound of my ride now

I think I'd personally have to hear an exhaust b4 I bought it. That's some thing that bug me if I hated the sound

The DC exhaust is decent. Based on what you're lookin' for, you could probably deal with it.

i would scrap the whole idea untill you reasearch all the parts your thinking of getting individually based on what resaullts you will expect from them. like somone said before, the dc header in my opinion is a waste of money beacause many setups it will cause a loss in power..and that fact alone would personaly stear me away from ever spending a cent on a DC sport product...i mean what is that sayin about there R&D ??....i run a JDM ITR 4-1,high flow carsound cat to a modified ITR catback..just had to extend the tip about 8 inches...works mint for me cause i wanna rip it without extra attention
