When you want more horsepower from your Accord you have choices of various products made by different manufacturers. For more power you want to increase the air flow into and out of your engine. One sure way is with a DCSports ceramic header system.
Your standard exhaust manifold restricts the exhaust gases and robs you of horsepower. A ceramic header system is one way of regaining some of that lost power. Typical ceramic sports headers will give you 8-12 HP increases if you are running on the street and even more if you purchasing a header system for off road use.
DCSports offers different types of headers for Honda Accords. Depending upon the year and model of your Accord you may be able to choose specific headers details.
First the tubes are made from mild steel with a Ceramic coating.
Then there are two main design approaches on how the pipes flow to the exhaust system.
4-1 are four tubes flowing into one pipe ceramic headers. This design is based on racing technology and emphasizes top-end power which is required for racing applications.
4-2-1 are four tubes flowing into two pipes and then into one leading to the rest of the exhaust system ceramic headers. This design provides low to mid-range power for street and strip use.
Last is either a one piece or a two piece design for ceramic headers. The one piece ceramic headers are lighter and takes a little longer to install. The two-piece ceramic headers are for an easier installation.
Ceramic headers offer more corrosion protection than steel headers, which lead to a longer life. Ceramic headers also create a thermal barrier and help keep heat within the headers. The hotter the exhaust gas, the faster it flows and the less back pressure which robs you of horsepower. Ceramic coatings also reduce the surface temperature, and keep your engine compartment cooler. Since ceramic headers retain more heat, there is less hot air drawn into the engine. Cooler air mean more power.
