I don't think your engine is powerful enough to need a dual exhaust.

please don't double post in multiple sections. welcome to the board! i do believe APC makes a set, and obx has a set listed on their site, but i cant get ahold of them to find out about them. as for the dual exhaust thing... smartass gcs

Just tellin' it like it is. About the header though, most people seem to be waiting for one where no custom drilling/fitting has to be done, or one is made by a quality company (ie NOT APC). If you get a header now, be prepared to put some work into it.

I never understood the point of splitting the exhaust on an inline engine in the first place...

Maybe he meant a 4 into 2 header or something??? They don't make any for a 1.6L if that is what was asked...

protetype

like i said earlier... OBX has headers listed on their website for the 1.6l... but they won't friggin email me back about it.

I thought it was a 4-2-1? That is the common type I thought. Those DC Sports 4-2-2's stay seperated and have the two flanges to mount 2 exhuast pipes to, or to mount a midpipe that fuses into one. They claim better torque or something in exchange for some high end breathing. Its been a while since I saw them or heard about them so I could be wrong about those.

Anyway I thought by the "pair of headers" reference that he thought A.) Protege's have "V" engines rather than inline, or B) A header to split the exhaust without a Y pipe. And if that was the case, they don't make any for any protege that I know of, let alone a 1.6L

if anyone gets one put in there car let me know, i want a header too. If anyone hears anything please let us know, i will be trying to get some info on these headers too. later

hey guys thank you for your help, i would have to look into obx or apc. and i do know that im looking for an in line 4 header system whether is 4-2-1 or 4-1 or 4-2-2 wich i think that don't even exist, by the way all of your rides look good. its about time we stand out from the civic's

If it fits a 2.0 FS, I think it fits the 1.8 FS as well...

There is a pic that semi-shows what I meant by the 4-into 2 into "1" they don't make the one that I remember from years ago, but imagine the downpipe of this staying seperated to allow two exhausts pipes to be mounted on. the illimination of the catalytic converters was always a problem, so I am imagining they figured people only want the dual exhuast for looks and that a Y-pipe after a single catalyst would do...
