alright i bought a used dc header i believe it is version 2 cant tell for sure but according to the pictures ive seen im pretty sure it is. well when i received the headers it didnt come with anything else No hardware no gaskets nothing.
where can i get all the original hardware or if not better hardware to get my dc headers Installed without problems.

also on a side note i was thinking about just going ahead and welding the headers to fix that flex pipe problem. if the flex pipe does crack later on and i want to upgrade the flex pipe like jtso has said is it possible for me to do that ? and what would i have to do to get that done if possible ?

 

A muffler shop will fix and answer all your questions for cheap.

 

what about the hardware they will be able to supply all that too ?

 

GODDAMN FUCK EMINENT314 tellin me not to complain nd shiet Because of him i am now going on a wild goose chase looking for this hardware i take everyones advice call up aem now they dont sell dc sports they tell me to call another number their only technical advice we dont sell to the public they tell me to call another number and they are all back ordered on all the hardware parts and they dont have an eta SO WTF FUCK YOU listened to other ppl went to autozone autobarn r&n strauss Pep boys FUCKING NOTHING this is the last straw im gonna look for a reputable muffler shop and if they cant fuckin help me im fuckin done with this header its not worth all the fuckin trouble ive been through just for a fuckin bolt on mod Fuck this

 

You didn't say in the OP where you bought the header or why it didin't come with the hardware. Can't you get back to the seller?

 

when i got the package i immediately wrote him an email asking about the hardware and he simply replied use a diy use stock bolts get new gaskets dont complain nice doing business with you

..sigh whatever this is what i get for not taking my time sorry for the previous post i will continue to look for a solution on my own

 

You can buy a new exhaust manifold gasket from the dealer for around $12 (If I remember correctly). I think you can also buy the O-ring from the dealer as well. You can cut out your own gaskets for the other pieces. (I've seen someone posting it before but I can't find it). If you don't have the bolts then just take the header with you to Lowe's or Ace hardware and see if you can find 3 that fit right. I'm sure someone can post the installation instructions so you know the torque specs on the bolts. There is hope for you, don't despair.

 

I found the o2 sensor extension
the bolts im sure im not gonna have a problem with
and i found one o ring gasket at a honda dealership part number 18393-sh3-s00
but i cant find the other o ring gaskets part number 18212-sb2-961a anywhere honda said this is not a good part number ?? I dunno im gonna try acura dealership tomrorow they are closed right now. but this is so hectic im going to like 3 different spots to get the hardware and then i have to go to muffler shop to get the header welded maybe even new flex pipe upgrade
i hope when i finally get it installed it is worth all the time i put into it
thnx jlukja for be helpful

 

can anyone put up the links for tack welding to reinforce the flex pipe so i can show them exactly where i want it done??? sorry im having some difficulty finding it i saw it b4 but i cant remember where should have bookmarked
also i have etd this will Help with the flex pipe cracking from hard starts ?? or should upgrade the flex pipe or add another flange in btw the header and cat ???

 

welded mine here

 

thnkx alot 925tsx
so if i get it welded here it'll help from the flex pipe being Pulled Out ??
and to prevent it from cracking i gotta go ez on the hard launchs or have an etd, extra flange spacer ??

 

Id say just weld it and leave it alone.

 

For those who are clueless like me... what the heck is a "DC Header gasket?" The extreme large and closeup photo holds no clues for me!
