DC Header Gaskets (2.3)

redlinevtec · Jun 1, 2011

Hey guys, quick question. I recently purchased a used DC Header and was wondering where I could purchase gaskets. I know the header itself that bolts on the block uses an OEM gasket but what about the others 3 areas? Do I need to call DC? Also I need the bolts that connect the two together. Any idea where to get the bolts and gaskets? Thanks!

Ask them for the part number and you can pick up the gaskets and bolts off the dealership. They'll give you the part numbers for the gaskets from another Honda but they fit perfectly fine.

Thanks Johnson. Get my text? I guess I'll ask them about the bolts too.

Should be available at any exhaust shop. If my memory serves me correctly from my old DC headers, I thought just two o-rings could be used for the mid point and OEM gaskets at the head and at the end of the downpipe....

for the bolts take the header manifold to orielly's they whould be able to match the studs and nuts for less than $4. i did that with mine and i think the total cost was $3.68

This gasket set should work fine. I purchased the header to downpipe gasket separately, and it was a perfect fit. Never had any leaks. I also have a set of new unopened Honda exhaust studs, I could sell if interested.

All DC provide are O ring gaskets, 2 for for the header to downpipe and one at the end of downpipe to catalytic converter. However I added an additional flat gasket on top of the O ring at the end of the downpipe to catalytic converter just to be safe.
