If there products are better than the ones they made for the new Civics then i say you could try them, but i dont know. The civic racing headers started to leak and crack.

eww the last thing i need is a leaky exhaust system. the thread that i found on here about their header for the fit said that there were no leaks and it fit almost perfectly. but of course most parts for the exhaust dont leak at first. if no one has experience with this exhaust i might just have to be the guinea pig and buy it just to let every one else know how it is.

Their ceramic race headers were known for cracking on dc5s because the vibrations of the engine would crack the welds. You had to upgrade the motor mounts or put in an engine damper to fix that.

I am considering this exhaust but haven't seen any pix of it installed.

You can get the exhaust for cheaper at autosportsyle

their parts for the 06+ civics werent that good. i had a DC race header on my last car, only for about 4 months...and had no problems. but alot of people had problems with them cracking. and at least 1 person i know of had the exhaust...the welds cracked in 2 spots. one time the tip cracked off and another time one of the flanges got a crack where its welded to the pipe.

also, there is a rumor they were recently sold to APC...buyer beware.

DC Sports was bought by Pilot a while back. They also own APC and DME

well thats wack, thanks for all the info. not to say i still wouldnt rock it. but knowing who owns dc just ruins it for me. i might as well trip down to auto zone and slap on a huge bomber gt wing and some under car neons. from what ive heard about dc sports quality in the last year or so i dont think i want to put their parts on my car. i love it to much to do it.
